Mile 12.2 - -12.2 LBD Opening in Jetty along Ocean Side of Upper South Pass Island

-12.2 LBD Opening in Jetty along Ocean Side of Upper South Pass Island

There is a low point in the East Jetty which creates your first possible opening to the open waters of the Gulf on the South Pass route -- and easy access to the ocean side of Upper South Pass Island comes LBD at -12.2 BHP. Paddle along coastline until you find a good beach to make your final stop and turnaround. Shallow landings only along this beach. Not good approach in south or easterly winds. Highest points along this island are found furthest out the spit. Enjoy the feeling of paddling the salty waves of the Gulf of Mexico!

Upper South Pass Island

Paddle north one mile along the beaches to the end of North South Pass Island, circle around the end of the island and cut back in for a calm landing in the estuary behind. From here you can go into full celebration. And also make camp. Check wind and tide predictions first.
