These Are the 10 Best Beaches in Louisiana

Holly Beach

If you’re looking for a secluded stretch of sand in the Bayou State, head to Holly Beach. Located along the “Cajun Riviera”—a 30-mile stretch of Gulf Coast coastline—Holly Beach flies a little under-the-radar with out-of-towners. It’s a known spot among crabbers, though, and puts on one heck of a show every night at sunset. The beach is also dotted with seashells. Vacation rentals perched on stilts and RV campgrounds are available to book.

Mae’s Beach

Close to the Texas-Louisiana state line, Mae’s Beach is located along the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road. It's a 180-mile route where the landscape changes from wetlands to marshes to prairies and you might need to slow down for the occasional alligator crossing.

 

Mae’s Beach is close to other Gulf of Mexico beaches including Holly Beach and Little Florida Beach, so you can check visits to all of them during a single trip. ATVs and trucks are allowed to cruise along the beach so long as you stay off the dunes and steer clear of wildlife.
