Nearby Spots
Overview
Although we didn’t ride in Bayou Chico ourselves, our visit was enough to raise some red flags. While there is nearby parking, the walk to the water is longer than ideal — especially when you're hauling an eFoil. More importantly, we spotted a posted notice warning of high bacteria levels in the water, which is a serious concern for any water sport.
Based on what we saw, we’d recommend skipping this spot and choosing a cleaner, more accessible location for your ride.

The sandy berm that would be most appropriate for launching is a good distance away from the parking. Most riders would be annoyed at how far they’d have to walk their board, or how many trips they’ll have to make.
