Mind the current when approaching the dock!
Quaint town with gorgeous, old, oak trees, draped in Spanish moss. Best coffee shop: Bridge Street Coffee & Tea. Best southern dinner: Log Cabin BBQ. La Belle, itself is a 5-star town, in my mind.
Very safe location. Lots of lighting. Unfortunately, lots of traffic noise from the La Belle bridge.
Note: the bridge will open on request from 6am - 7am, 9am-4pm, 6pm-10pm. It will open with 3 hours notice between 10pm and 6am. The bridge will not open between 7-9am and 4-6pm.
The dock is not so great. The construction, itself, is solid. The space for larger boats is a bow or stern in to a concrete fixed dock, with a piling between spaces. Cleats on the concrete wall, lasso the pilings to keep yourself centered. Electrical and water available.
The smaller docks have a finger pier with pilings and cleats on both the pier and the pilings. No electrical or water hookup.
No toilets, no showers near the dock. If the library is open, you can use their bathroom. The city park bathrooms were open when we came through in December 2023, but were closed during our stay in March.
The library is wonderful. Computers, wifi, comfortable seats and tables, with a view of the boats at the city dock.
Best of all, everyone we met in La Belle was friendly!
