We admit it, we’re not Gulf Shores or Florida, but the Louisiana coast does have its share of beaches. Places to view Gulf waters and white sandy beaches include Rutherford Beach and Holly Beach south of Lake Charles and Grand Isle Beach further east. Cypremort Point State Park doesn’t face the Gulf, but it offers a man-made beach on Vermilion Bay. If the ocean isn’t your thing, but a beach is, try Lakeview Park & Beach in Eunice where live music is also part of the fun.
