200 North Beach Restaurant & Hurricane Hunter Bar

The Building at 200 North Beach Boulevard was built in 1903 to house the Sea Coast Echo Newspaper. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005 Ann Tidwell and her family restored the structure, reclaiming original beaded boards and exposing its massive wooden beams. Today, the Echo Building, as it is known to locals, remains one of the best examples of early 20th century architecture on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Now home to 200 North Beach Restaurant, this historic address features fresh seafood, savory steaks and favorite local dishes served with a special flavor of the area. We invite you to enjoy one of our specialty cocktails at the Hurricane Hunter Bar, reminiscent of Ms. Ann’s son-in-law, who served as a Hurricane Hunter himself.
Ms. Ann and her Staff strive to make your visit here an unforgettable part of your Old Town experience. By providing outstanding food in a familiar and comfortable atmosphere, we hope you’ll find the charm of Bay St. Louis in every visit.
