Well, it's always a bit of an adventure checking out the reported free camping locations. One site I've been using is www.freecampsites.net. They have been pretty reliable.
And this time we found a winner. Beach camping at Rutherford Beach near Cameron, LA (GPS: 29.758823 -93.124298). We liked it so much we stayed two nights.

As you can see in there pictures, you can drive and camp right on the beach. When we got there the wind was howling and the surf was choppy, so we stayed away from the edge of the beach which was eroding slightly. We set up to be able to quickly drive away if needed (it wasn't).
This beach is not the most beautiful, and the water is muddy-colored like much of the LA Gulf Coast. But if you like shells, it is a beachcombers paradise. And we found bits of color here and there.
