Holly Beach is one of the places Roamward flags on the Creole Nature Trail because it gives the drive its texture: miles of drive-on Gulf beach, the “Cajun Riviera”. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.

How it fits the drive

The Creole Nature Trail runs Lake Charles / Sulphur loop, LA. Louisiana’s Outback — gators, birds, and Gulf beaches.
