Because they are all covered in marsh grass. I'm sure LA has some Sandy Beach areas but not like AL and FL where it is almost uninterrupted for miles and miles.
That and being right where the Mississippi dumps into the Gulf making the water pretty muddy/murky compared to farther east. It really is a different ecosystem all together.

I have a blast every time I go to grand isle. I’m really not about just sitting in a chair listening to the waves. I can fish and crab all day long

quote:90% of Louisiana coastline isn’t solid ground. Its almost all marsh with soft muddy bottom due to the sediment discharge from the Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers. Even the areas closer to Texas with a little bit of solid ground aren’t what many people would want to live in or visit as a coastal beach town because the water is still chocolate milk brown because of the river influence
Louisiana has more coastline than Alabama so I'd guess there are some towns as nice as Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

Technically speaking they are production platforms, come placed on caissons, some placed on jackets, and those in deepwater are floating. Oil Rig denotes mobile drilling unit, or in some cases portable and placed on production platforms.

Louisiana had Isle Derniere (Last Island) at one time but the hurricane of 1856 dispatched it.
Louisiana can’t compare with the beaches of the states East of it because of geology.
Those states are in a different watershed than us. Their beaches are made of sediments from the Appalachian Mountains and hills of Alabama,etc. White quartz sand.
Currents run westward and carry alluvial mud and clay from the Mississippi to our beaches.
Louisiana is its own world.

North Beach at Lake Charles is pretty nice and you don't have to go far into louisiana from texas:

Grand Isle was literally on The New York Times 52 places to visit in the world this year.

I love seeing the oil rigs off the coast. But then again, look at my user name

In South Louisiana, our food is from heaven and our beaches are from hell.

Look on the east side of mobile bay.

Louisiana has more coastline than Alabama
quote:Uh, no. There are only a handful of towns/villages on the coast. Grand Isle being the largest and it’s nowhere near the size of those. There are a couple of inhabited beaches in Cameron Parish, but its only camps, no businesses.
so I'd guess there are some towns as nice as Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

Maybe not beaches per se, but I assume there are some cool tucked away stretches of coast/island in LA. No? With all those remote areas I assume there have to be some interesting areas.
