Holly Beach
Edit SpotAbout
It's something. Nice beach though, you can drive right on it.
Atmosphere:
Warm water, brown water, very laid back, would never go here unless I lived in the area, but it's cool enough for me. If you're a surf/wave snob, don't bother.
Additional Info:
I just moved to SW Louisiana, and this is the closest "break" that I've found. Check the reports at Galveston. If it says 4 feet or so, this place should have some knee-thigh waves, barely rideable. But hey, it's Louisiana and I'll take what I can get. Bring a LONG board.
