Louisiana is a Gulf Coast state, but we aren’t known for those white sandy beaches like Alabama and Florida have – however, we do have miles and miles of beautiful beaches peppered along the coast, perfect for a day of summer fun. If you’re starting to plan your summer vacations, make sure to put Holly Beach on the list because it’s one of the most beautiful beaches in Louisiana. Let’s check it out.

Known as the “Cajun Riviera,” Holly Beach is one of those hidden gems only locals know about.

It’s also a beach you can drive on!
