Listing is not daily operation

The Corps publishes West Bank's operating schedule on the Mobile District site, which does not serve automated checks, so the schedule is not restated here. Water level, weather or a posted closure can still affect the beach.

Where the beach fact comes from

The Recreation.gov facility description lists a designated swim beach, and Corps Lakes Gateway lists a beach. Both are Corps sources, not a third-party directory.
