Even though Louisiana is a coastal state, we don’t really have the beach reputation our Gulf Coast friends to the east do, but that just means our hidden beaches in Louisiana are that much more special. When you’re looking for new outdoor adventures in Louisiana, there’s one particular state park that’s home to a beautiful little beach that’s just delightful on a hot summer day.
Even though Fontainebleau State Park is nowhere near the Gulf, it's home to one of the most delightful little beaches in the Pelican State.
There's a parking lot nearby, and a paved walkway straight to the beach, which will make carrying any beach gear with you much easier than dragging it through the sand.

It's a popular spot for locals to beat the heat during those Louisiana summers, so you may want to go during the week if you want to escape the crowds.
You may even be inspired to do a little photoshoot! Many, many high school photos, wedding photos, and family photos have been shot here, it's almost a rite of passage for St. Tammany residents. With views like that, it's a no-brainer.
If you’re wanting a coastal beach day, head down to Rutherford Beach, another one of our favorite hidden beaches in Louisiana. It’s one of the best places in Louisiana to find seashells, and you can park your car right on the beach!
