Louisiana Beaches are alluvial beaches. Though our sand is not as white as Florida's, the beach waterfront is vibrant with more fish than any other beach area. This is due to the many bayous, rivers, and canals that drop sediment directly into the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana. Because of this rich environment, the surf fishing off Fourchon Beach is unlike any other.

The public is asked to take every safety precaution when enjoying the beach, especially when young children are involved, and to please help to keep the beach clean, even though it means picking up trash that is not your own.
