“30 miles”
That’s about right. A neat drive too, the island gets so thin that you could almost throw a ball and hit water in either direction.
Yes, it is a neat drive. I like taking the coastal route even though it’s longer and slower for me. I love the coast. The Bolivar penninsula is/was one of my favorite drives. You can/could go all the way to Port Arthur on the coast, or at least you could before Rita. It’s very desolate beach and when I was in high school, we’d drive over there from Lake Charles to surf.
