White Trout

For most of the year, Grand Isle with mild temperatures and clear weather, is a leisurely place that attracts visitors who come to fish, walk the beach, explore the dense undergrowth at the center of the island and observe the hundreds of thousands of migrating birds who make Grand Isle their first stop for rest when they return from the tropics across the central Gulf of Mexico.

Unlike other "resort" communities, Grand Isle hasn't chosen to go modern. It possess an unpretentious mystique that is as warm and comfortable as South Louisiana hospitality. That is why generations of sport-fishermen return year after to bask the sun and bathe in the gentle surf. They keep coming back to fish, either on shore or off shore where the big ones wait to feed, either near the giant rigs or in open water, or the back bays.

The beach that grace's Grand Isle is seven miles long. You can avoid the crowds at the east and west end of the island and enjoy the rest of the Grand Isle shoreline by yourself. Here and there a few humans walk or play on the beach, watching the waves surfing onto shore and feeling their daily worries trickle away. This is a typical day, summer or winter, on the beach at Grand Isle.

Grand Isle is isolated enough to be private and modern enough to offer comfort and conveniences. For most of the year, Grand Isle with mild temperatures and clear weather, is a leisurely place.
