Creole Nature Trail
Holly Beach, LA

Nicknamed "The Cajun Riviera" by natives and visitors alike, Holly Beach provides sun and fun in a casual atmosphere and boasts of the most accessible, free, natural, sandy Louisiana beach enjoyed by the public.

Holly Beach has become a place where thousands come to swim, fish, crab, sun bathe, people watch, collect shells, bird watch, and hunt (in the winter). One of the greatest obstacles to the maintenance of these gulf beaches is erosion. Structural techniques, such as the rock levees and tire and brush fences that lie just offshore, act as a physical barrier between the beach and waves.
