Elmers

I believe it is supposed to be open from daylight until dark, but I have not seen the gate closed at all lately.

Talked to a couple of game wardens down there this weekend and they said people are catching all the crabs they can handle on Elmers & Grand Isle right now. Just bring some turkey necks and run a few lines.

You should have no problems driving on the beach if you drive on the East (Grand Isle) side of the island. By this I mean take a left once you hit the beach. We drove down there a few times this weekend in my 2WD and never had any problems at all.

Also, if the main part of the beach is too rough or windy drive all the way down the Gulf side of the beach until you hit Caminada Pass and can't drive any further. The pass side of the beach should be calm under most conditions.
