Why are there no beaches in Louisiana

Geography.

We have Grand Isle, and it’s a treasure.

Bc the Mississippi River said so

There are beaches…holly beach, grand isle, etc. but there are other areas with such a small slope that there’s nowhere for the sand to accumulate so it just transitions over miles of marsh grass

Holy Beach

C'mon man




All of the sediment from 60% of the US drains through the state. The state's coast was built by this process.

Makes no sense to me. Y’all border the gulf? Wouldn’t it be a good money maker

Fluvial geomorphology is not your strong suit.

In the 80s a lot of oil companies recruited at schools in the north/Midwest. A friend had a recruiting brochure from Texaco in Morgan City. It looked just like Destin with people water skiing and boating and babes frolicking in bikinis. I moved down here (Lafayette) and learned what Morgan City was really like. I remember thinking that Texaco had a really good (albeit dishonest) marketing group to make Morgan City look like a fun beach town.

Sorry not everyone takes Louisiana history or Louisiana geography in high school
