Facility Overview
P & N Landing LLC is a dedicated open-air marina and boat landing surface parking facility located at 137 Blaize Dr in Buras, Louisiana. Situated deep in lower Plaquemines Parish near the mouth of the Mississippi River, this site functions as an essential staging, launching, and vehicle-and-trailer parking ground for anglers, charter fishing expeditions, commercial mariners, and waterfowl hunters. The facility features an expansive outdoor gravel and crushed-shell lot with wide turnaround aprons designed specifically to handle oversized towing rigs. Because it is completely open-air with no overhead canopies, multi-level structures, or height barriers, there are no vertical clearance restrictions, making it thoroughly accommodating for lifted 4x4 pickup trucks, multi-axle boat trailers, high-roof utility vans, and off-road utility vehicles.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Located in the heart of Louisiana’s world-renowned saltwater and brackish sportfishing capital, P & N Landing LLC places drivers and boaters moments away from prime bayou waterways, marsh networks, and direct coastal access corridors. Key points of interest and destinations nearby include:
- Mississippi River Delta & Coastal Marshes: Direct waterway access to world-famous redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and migratory waterfowl habitats across the lower delta.
- Fort Jackson Historic Site: Located roughly 8 miles north on LA-23, this historic 19th-century coastal fortification and park hosts historical tours and the annual Plaquemines Parish Orange Festival.
- Venice & Empire Marinas: Positioned conveniently between Empire to the north and Venice—the jumping-off hub for Gulf of Mexico offshore deep-sea fishing—to the south.
- Local Seafood & Supply Outlets: Within a short drive along LA-23 are local bait and tackle outfitters, ice houses, hardware suppliers, and traditional delta seafood po-boy diners.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Vehicle ingress and egress at P & N Landing LLC are engineered to accommodate long truck-and-trailer combinations. The property connects via Blaize Drive straight onto Louisiana Highway 23 (LA-23), which is the primary four-lane arterial thoroughfare linking the lower delta northward through Belle Chasse and directly into the Greater New Orleans metropolitan area (approximately 65 miles away). Due to its rural, waterfront setting, public transit such as light rail or municipal buses is not available; private passenger vehicles, utility trucks, and commercial transports are the sole modes of travel. The open layout ensures effortless pulling through and reversing down to the water ramps without bottleneck congestion during typical early-morning launches.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When heading to P & N Landing LLC, plan your arrival before first light during peak spring and autumn fishing runs to secure your preferred launch order and parking spot. Drivers towing extended multi-axle trailers should inspect their tie-downs and trailer lights prior to turning off LA-23 onto Blaize Drive. Keep cash on hand in case launch and parking fees are collected via self-pay envelope drop boxes, and remember to pack out all trash and wash gear down to keep the coastal habitat pristine.
