Starting here and continuing east to McFaddin Beach, this portion of Highway 87 was washed out by a hurricane more than a decade ago. Off-road vehicles still venture through with care.

It was washed out by Hurricane Chantal in 1989. While not an impressive hurricane, the storm surge generated was just enough to scatter the eastern half of Highway 87 into the swamps of Chambers and Jefferson counties.
