From a lakeside retreat (with paddle boat, jet ski or barge rentals!) to a State Park paradise, to historic homes with ample front porches, you can find your perfect summer getaway on the Cajun Coast!
Your Louisiana adventure on the Cajun Coast not only includes Cajun culture, food & music but also the beauty of both the Atchafalaya and the Gulf! Our waterways make the perfect setting for your fun in the sun getaway! Boating and fishing are the most popular water activities, along with paddling along our many paddling trails, but swimming, water skiing, and just playing along the water’s edge at places like Lake End Park are especially popular for families. The addition of Lake End Rentals with kayaks, jet skis, pontoon boats and more, add a little excitement (and ease) to the fun!
Fishing excursions along inland waterways or into the vast Gulf of Mexico can add a lot to the excitement as well with a local guide. And going on a swamp tour is practically mandatory when visiting the Cajun Coast. Guides like Captain Caviar are almost as entertaining as the alligators! Book a tour or check out our abundant wildlife areas where your wild things can view ours!
If golf is your thing, you can book a tee time for a round of golf at The Atchafalaya at Idlewild, an Audubon Golf Trail course! Views from the porch or dining at the Atchafalaya at Idlewild Restaurant.
And, if sandals on the sidewalk is more your thing than sand between your toes or hitting it over the sand trap, a Main Street shopping excursion is perfect for you! We boast plenty of cute boutiques and a lot of antiques and uniques in between! Find just the thing to take home as a reminder of your getaway!
We have plenty of accommodations to allow you to stay and explore! From historic homes with front porches just made for sippin’ away the summer evenings to national chains and local boutique properties, you can find your favorite spot to stay on your Cajun Coast vacation. And, don’t forget the option to STAY in the great outdoors; we offer everything from primitive camping spots to cabins, plenty of RV hookups some steps away from the water, and even houseboats to stay literally on the water!
When you need a little time out of the sun, explore our museums or historic homes, or try your luck at an area casino.
We have a complete list of itineraries prepared to make the planning easy for just about any you want to follow – from Ghosts to Easy Rider! So come, find your fun in the sun this summer on the Cajun Coast!
