The streams and swamps of Louisiana's bayou are a landscape unlike any other. Legendary pirate Jean Lafitte allegedly once hid in the inlets and bays of Louisiana’s Outback, and as you cruise through the region, you'll see signs marking popular alligator crossings, along with loads of other creatures native to the marshy wetlands. It's a route filled with unique beauty, including beaches, gardens and swamps, so take time to stop and smell the roses (or magnolias) as you experience the Creole Nature Trail!
We cooled off at the water park and took a much needed break from driving.
Known for its awesome beachcombing opportunities and charming ramshackle bungalows, Holly Beach is a quaint spot to stop on your trip. Camping on this beach is free, so make sure to bring your RV or a tent. Just be careful when driving, since your vehicle could get stuck in the soft sand. The beach is relatively isolated, so you may find yourselves to be the only ones on this hidden treasure!
