What beaches are open for crabbing/surf fishing?

Going west, the closest is probably Rutherford beach which is south of Creole, LA.

To get there......take I-10 to the Cameron/Chloe exit before you get to Lake Charles and go south on Hwy 387. About 5 miles down, you will hit Hwy 14 at a stop sign [or is there a traffic light there now?], go left. After about another 5 miles, Hwy 14 turns to the left [east] but keep going straight on Hwy 27.

Keep on Hwy 27 until the road comes into another road and you have to make a turn. This is close to the beach. Go right [west] for about a mile and turn left on the road to the beach.
