Review:
Grand Isle, known as a “Sportsman’s Paradise,” is a remote oasis on Louisiana’s rich shoreline, known for its high-class fishing and large birding habitat. Grand Isle is the only inhabited barrier island in Louisiana, with unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico, 7 miles of sandy beaches, and diverse, rich wildlife. The Butterfly Dome is home to native plants and butterflies. Just across the Grand Isle is Elmer’s Island, a home to Elmer’s Island Wildlife Refuge, a 230-acre barrier beachfront. At the east side of the island is Grand Isle State Park, with the best beaches on the island, a 400-foot-long fishing pier, several nature trails, and an overnight campground.
