Sabine Lake to Cameron, Louisiana Highway 82 East

From the west, LA-82 begins at the Texas state line continuing the route of Texas SH-82 midway across a bridge over Sabine Lake. The bridge connects Jefferson County, Texas and Cameron Parish, Louisiana just offshore of the city limits of Port Arthur, Texas near the Gulf of Mexico. Heading northeast off of the bridge, LA-82 mmediately curves to the southeast and passes the Chevron Sabine Gas Plant and Cheniere Energy liquefied natural gas facility located on the Sabine Pass. The highway then curves to the east and heads through the desolate marshes of Cameron Parish initially along an artificial embankment flanked by drainage canals. As the highway begins to approach the coastline of the Gulf of Mexico, however, it transitions onto the Blue Buck Ridge, a narrow strip of natural dry land. A few homes begin to dot the landscape, most of which are raised on piers and set back a distance from the road. Passing through the small community of Johnson Bayou, located about 14 miles (23 km) from the Sabine Lake bridge, LA-82 becomes known as the Gulf Beach Highway. The sandy beaches of the gulf coast come into view approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Johnson Bayou in an area known as Constance Beach. LA-82 proceeds eastward flanked by the beach and the uninhabited marsh for another 6 miles (9.7 km) before curving into a T-intersection with LA-27 at Holly Beach. This leg of LA-27 heads north to Sulphur outside the larger city of Lake Charles and provides one of only two inland connections from the Cameron Parish gulf coast. LA-82 turns to resume its eastward course as it runs concurrently with LA-27 past the cluster of raised waterfront homes comprising Holly Beach. After 5 miles (8.0 km), the highway curves to the northeast away from the coastline and then due north alongside the Calcasieu Ship Channel. 2 miles (3.2 km) later, the road curves east to cross the channel via ferry.
