It's just across the bridge from Bay St. Louis, on the Harrison County side. It was a nice ride Sunday-before-last, to a quiet, somewhat desolate point on the eastern edge of the Bay of St. Louis. Here, have some pics; you can click to embiggen as needed:
From the top left: a view from the Bay Bridge of Henderson Point; four views of the beach; and the yard of one of the lovely Henderson Point homes. Wait, where's the home? Trashed in Katrina, lot is still bare. Because, you see, while a big swath of the Gulf Coast was affected, Henderson Point was one of the very hardest hit. Check this wind field plot at Wikipedia. Pretty much the center of the wind intensity bullseye (not to be mistaken for the calm eye, 20 miles to the west) is on Henderson Point.
Well, it was a nice early fall Sunday morning bike ride, and there wasn't much traffic. Crossing the Bay Bridge on bike is always a treat, with the separated pedestrian & bike lane.
