When you think of white sandy beaches, Louisiana may not be the first place that comes to mind, but did you know we have some beautiful white sandy beaches that are perfect for summertime adventures? From Holly Beach to Jimmie Davis State Park, Louisiana is home to several lovely beaches that are great day trips. Now don’t get us wrong, we know these beaches are tough to compare to those stunners a little further east, but you don’t always have the time to pack your backs and drive several hours out to those beautiful Gulf Coast beaches; however, Fontainebleau State Park is an easily accessible beach that will quickly become your go-to spot for the summer. Let’s check it out:

Located along Lake Pontchartrain in Mandeville, Fontainebleau State Park is easily one of the most beautiful state parks in Louisiana.
