Bathsheba/Cattlewash Beaches
Bathsheba/Cattlewash Beaches Review
Although not safe for swimming, the miles of untouched sand along the East Coast Road in St. Joseph Parish are great for beachcombing and wading. As you approach Bathsheba Soup Bowl, the southernmost stretch just below Tent Bay, the enormous mushroom-shaped boulders and rolling surf are uniquely impressive. This is also where expert surfers from around the world converge each November for the Independence Classic Surfing Championship. Amenities: none. Best for: solitude; sunrise; surfing; walking.
