Looks like Lakeshore Drive in NOLA without the gang gatherings.

I don’t see a picture in your post.

Is my phone broken or are y’all gaslighting me?

Go on Google Maps Satellite. The dredge that did the recent beach replenishing is still pictured. You can see the setup.

Just South of the Golden Nugget is the equipment. To the East in the channel you can see the dark blue spot that they pulled the spoil from.

The beaches in Biloxi aren't that bad. There's just a lot of clay in the water from the nearby rivers. Don't expect clear, pristine Florida beaches.

Personally, I find Biloxi/Ocean Springs/Bay St. Louis beaches to be a GREAT day trip from the Baton Rouge area.

Dauphin and Ship are both pretty nice if I recall correctly. Saying that, I still prefer the Portofino or Rosemary.
