One of the few barrier islands that is still intact—and many questioning how long it will last, Grand Isle offers hands down the best views of the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana and plays host each year to a large gathering of bird lovers since this isle is a favorite stopping point for birds migrating from South America.
This magical spot is in the backyard of Lafayette and attracts bird lovers from around the world since it is a rookery for so many of the migratory species that can be spotted flying around the country. But to me it’s the Spanish moss here that really seals the deal.
