I guess it all depends on whether you prefer to sit with/next to a crowd of 50-60 other CO beach goers (we did twice in January...decent) OR go to a beach and have it reasonably unpopulated (we did that four times at HB)....totally different vibe..totally your preference and "legality" has never been a factor in my many years BUT if you are worried about maybe being arrested/chastised (really?) then hang at Orient...more services and a great experience

Edit: I should add....same deal with Baie Rouge vs. HB
