Sunset Drive Across Lake Pontchartrain Causeway

About this spot

Driving across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway feels endless, just water, sky, and golden light all around. Crossing the world’s longest continuous bridge over water during golden hour turns the drive into an experience of its own. A great way to do it is to time your crossing before sunset and drive toward the north shore, then enjoy the sunset views over the lake on the way back. Tip: Check the sunset time in advance to plan your crossing, and note there’s a toll when returning south.
