[quote=Rider_55][quote=rattlenhum]Rider_55: I did not know about the BP berm....please let us know what you find out. If it's anything like the one they built 8 - 10 years ago, one good storm will take it out. Also, be aware that DI is not a typical beach resort area. A lot of the houses are locals' primary homes, and they seem to have eyes in the back of their heads! Don't assume you can launch at any ole vacant lot or at one of those streets that dead ends at the gulf. You'll likely get a visit from the police, and you don't want to spend your vacation in the pokey at Bayou La Batre! (Honestly, if I lived there, I'd want to look out for my town, too!)

I will update when I go but I hope someone will beat me there and provide the information before I go the last week in June. As far as beach launching from one of the streets that dead ends in the gulf we are renting the last house on the street so we should have direct access without having to cross anyone else's property. It's not like I am trying to doze out the berm and back a trailer down to the water If I can walk there I can get the boat there with beach wheels or by carrying it if necessary.
Why on earth would the police get involved? Trespassing? Damaging the protected berm? Seems like a good way to make sure the tourism industry, no mater how small, will spend there dollars elsewhere.[/quote]
