Port Sulphur is positioned along the Mississippi River Delta on the West Bank of Plaquemines Parish and serves as a key gateway to Louisiana’s Gulf Coast, just 45 minutes south of New Orleans. The area is in the middle of a major economic expansion driven by Venture Global’s Plaquemines LNG facility, which has reached first production and is moving forward with a planned $18 billion additional phase. When complete, the project will create hundreds of permanent jobs and thousands of indirect positions while bringing significant new infrastructure investment to the parish.
Recreation is still at the heart of the community. The surrounding marshes lie directly under the Mississippi Flyway and provide some of the best duck hunting in the country, with strong winter flights of mallards, teal, and gadwalls. Inshore fishing for bull redfish and speckled trout is outstanding, and the Wilkinson Canal offers a fast boat run to Grand Isle and the open Gulf. New federal levees have dramatically improved flood protection, and ongoing upgrades to Highway 23 continue to make the area more accessible.
With growing industrial activity, proven flood protection, and direct access to world-class hunting and fishing, Port Sulphur combines real economic momentum with the classic Louisiana coastal lifestyle.
