Howze Beach

The landscape around Howze Beach is a low-lying, humid Gulf Coast shoreline beside Lake Pontchartrain, and it has shaped local settlement and livelihoods. This broad, shallow lake is a brackish estuary, linked to the Gulf of Mexico through the Rigolets and other tidal passages. Howze Beach lies on Louisiana’s Northshore, the part of the greater New Orleans area that extends along the lake’s northern edge. Lake Pontchartrain was named in 1699 for Louis Phélypeaux, Comte de Pontchartrain, a minister to Louis XIV.
