Pointe a la Hache sits along the lower Mississippi River’s east bank, where cypress-lined bayous and open marsh create a landscape made for quiet mornings and serious outdoor adventure. Residents prize the easy access to world-class fishing and birding; boats push out to the maze of marshes within the Delta National Wildlife Refuge, and seasonal migrations along the Mississippi Flyway turn everyday horizons into a show. As the historic seat of Plaquemines Parish, the community blends deep-rooted heritage with a water-oriented lifestyle that rewards curiosity and self-reliance.
Families are served by the Plaquemines Parish School Board, with Phoenix High (K–12) on the East Bank known for a close-knit campus and strong community support. Commuters reach New Orleans via LA-39 or cross the river by ferry to connect with jobs and services in Belle Chasse, while everyday necessities and marinas can be found in nearby Port Sulphur. Weekends often revolve around tides and seasons—redfish and speckled trout in the bays, teals in the marsh, and coastal sunrises that never get old. For up-to-date regulations and access guidance, locals rely on the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
Whether you’re looking for a quiet homestead with river breezes or a base camp for serious angling, Pointe a la Hache offers a rare mix of solitude, access, and tradition.
