Authentic Louisiana Experiences

Discover the joy of surf fishing. Casting a line from sandy beaches or wading into the warm Gulf waters is a fun way to experience the Louisiana coastline. The beaches that stretch along Grand Isle are ideal locations to begin Surf fishing. Grand Isle State Park is the only state-owned and operated beach on Louisiana’s Gulf Coast, and local biologists believe its waters hold more than 280 different species of fish, making it a prime destination for surf fishing enthusiasts.
To truly explore Louisiana’s cultural heritage is to immerse yourself in Cajun and Creole culture. Head to Buck and Johnny's in Breaux Bridge for their famous Zydeco Breakfast. Between bites of classic Louisiana dishes, move your feet to lively zydeco music. In Lafayette, visit the Blue Moon Saloon for a wide variety of Cajun and zydeco bands. Since its opening in 2001, it has become one of America’s premier venues for Cajun music.
