You Can Experience Serene Ocean Views From Grand Isle State Park
Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you should stay cooped up inside all day. In fact, one of the perks of living in Louisiana is that we don’t experience the harsh winters our northern friends do, so we can play outdoors practically year-round. For a relaxing getaway that will make you feel like you’ve been transported to a tropical island, a visit to Grand Isle State Park is in order. Sinking your toes into the sand while gazing out at the serene Gulf of Mexico sounds like paradise, right? Let’s take a closer look.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
But it’s also one of the most beautiful.
If you’re looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Grand Isle State Park is an ideal destination.
Visitors to the park can enjoy beaches, fishing opportunities, wildlife viewing, and nature trails.
If you’ve got a camper or an RV, you can rent one of their 49 premium campsites.
You can camp right on the beach at the state park! There are 14 beach tent campsites that rent for a mere $18 per night and offer the opportunity to fall asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing onto the shore. Stargazers will especially love camping on the beach since you’ll be far away from those pesky city lights, you’ll be able to see all the beautiful stars in the sky (weather permitting, of course).
You may never want to leave!
Bring your rod and reel and catch yourself some dinner, or just gaze out into the Gulf. It’s not uncommon to see dolphins jumping out of the water, so keep your eyes peeled!
You'll have a bird's eye view of the park and endless water views.
Crabs, jellyfish, and even stingrays are often spotted in the area.
It'll quickly become your new favorite getaway destination.
