With summer quickly approaching, you’re probably on the hunt for your first beach vacation of the year. Instead of going to Florida or the Gulf Shores area, consider taking a little vacation to this wonderful beach town right here in Louisiana that you’re sure to love.

Holly Beach is a little coastal community located in Cameron Parish.

Also known as the “Cajun Riviera,” this beach scene is the perfect spot to get away from it all.

Holly Beach is known for its crabbing, but it’s also the perfect place to search for seashells.
