44. Louisiana: Grand Isle State Park
Serving as Louisiana’s premier inhabited barrier island, Grand Isle offers direct access to the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It features miles of sandy beaches that are legendary among locals for their exceptional coastal fishing, crabbing, and deep-sea fishing rodeos. The island is also a crucial stopover point for hundreds of species of migrating birds each spring, making it a paradise for birdwatchers. The beach embodies the resilient, laid-back Cajun culture of the state’s deep coastal south.
