Heron Bay is a bay located just nine miles from Pearlington, in Hancock County. This is a prime fishing spot and it is very pretty. Leaving from La France Marina, you will navigate through Campbell’s Inside Bayou, Peter’s Ditch, and Redfish Bayou before entering Heron Bay. The scenery on this route is very marshy. Vast and beautiful marshes extend for miles and provide habitat for many shorebirds and waterfowl. Very pretty marsh plants and other wildlife also add to the scenery. On the return trip through the canal, take caution for motor boats and large watercraft.
