For those of you saying Holly Beach, when was the last time you went there? Rita wiped out everything. They raised all the requirements and codes for houses/camps. There are nothing but new camps, a few RV parks and a few camper rentals.

It disgusts and saddens me that anyone from Louisiana would put down the beaches in Cameron. Do people leave trash? Yes, there are some trashy motherfrickers that plague all beaches. There are no paid beach crews that come along and rake the beach every morning. It's up to the public to pack out what they bring in or volunteers to clean up after people leave their trash behind. I've personally volunteered several times and Ultra drinkers, you are by far the trashiest people that visit (bud light drinkers are 2nd).

The beaches are huge, raw, untapped, beautiful and most importantly- Free to use by the public. There's no rental chairs and umbrellas or anyone telling you that "you can't set your chairs up here" or "this is a private beach". You can drive almost the entire length of beach from Holly Beach to the Sabine. It's not commercialized and overdone. It's a place to go and relax (however you choose to do that).

CPSO and Sheriff Johnson do an amazing job with little resources, policing the beaches and ensuring public safety.

Orange Beach

Rutherford Beach is up there, but it does offer squaws from Creole.

Crystal Beach across Galveston bay on Bolivar Peninsula. Good fishing over there though.

. Have you never heard of the impact that the Mississippi river has on the GOM?

Well no shite Sherlock. Been living in La. for 66 years, so I'm pretty familiar with how much silt hits the GOM every year.

I was just commenting on the water's clarity in different areas. And guess what, I actually know since the GOM along Florida is just a crows flight from the Atlantic, it is going to be much clearer.

Any beach that is still polluted by the Mississippi River silt.
