#4 Grand Isle (Louisiana)
Another well-liked activity for today is represented by the riding of the horses’ team. This beautiful beach is located not far away from New Orleans. More precisely a two-hour drive away from New Orleans.
This small Grand Isle town, which is roughly a two-hour drive from New Orleans, has just around 1,600 people living in it, but during the summer, the population peaks at about 14,000 people. While enjoying pleasant weather and the possibility to stroll on 7 miles of fine sand beaches in the winter, you’ll have it almost entirely to yourself.
Enjoy observing birds at the five birdwatching areas all along the Grand Isle Nature Trail, which includes the island’s greatest remaining specimens of oak-huckberry forests. Alternatively, if you’re a fan of pretty, colorful winged insects, check out the Butterfly Dome, which has native butterflies and plants. Grand Isle State Park is an excellent place to cast your line because the area’s waters are home to over 280 different species of fish.
