    Heaven on Earth, Grand Isle State Park is truly special…read more Grand Isle State Park deserves every bit of five stars, especially seeing the incredible work being done rebuilding after Hurricane Ida. The resilience here is inspiring, and the experience is absolutely worth supporting. This place is breathtaking. We kayaked every single day and saw dolphins constantly, entire schools swimming with us. The new rock jetties have attracted so much marine life, making every trip on the water unforgettable. The water is beautiful and crystal clear, and the sand is soft, not muddy like many coastal areas. Camping right on the beach, whether RV or tent, is an experience everyone should try at least once. Falling asleep to the waves and waking up to endless ocean views feels like pure peace. All spots are just on the north side on the jetty's. The camper spots are paved, with 30/50amp power, water, level with tons of space and there is a dump station in the park. The park hosts are incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The park feels very safe and secure while still being quiet, peaceful, and not overcrowded. The entire island is amazing. There are convenient spots all over to rent kayaks right by the water for around $20. The local supermarket is a hidden gem. It has everything from beach gear to hardware supplies to groceries. Several lovely restaurants are rebuilding and thriving after the 2021 hurricane, which makes supporting this community even more meaningful. The pier is currently down as of February 2026, but there are still plenty of places to fish, explore, walk, and enjoy the scenery. We loved the area so much we extended our stay twice. Grand Isle isn't just back after the hurricane. It has been amazing the whole time. We absolutely cannot wait to return.

    I've been to a few beaches in my life and I can honestly say I was very impressed with this one. I…read moreloved the idea that you can take a tent and sleep on the beach. This may be the only thing that brings me back to Louisiana. The sand was dark and black. My daughter and I love finding shells and here late in the afternoon we were able to find some decent shells. The bathrooms could use a little more upkeep. Memories made with the family.

    So this isn't really a review of the Sand Dollar's ice or fuel, although I'm sure they're both…read moreswell. The bar at the Sand Dollar marina is my favorite place to go in Grand Isle. It's just a simple little outdoor bar, and this simplicity is what makes it awesome. In the past, the Sand Dollar was a great bar to grab a stool and a drink, talk to random people, and watch the boats and fisherman come in. This bar has an islandy feel, but not in a forced, superficial touristy way. You can definitely (and should) lose track of time here, and it's an excellent haunt to engage in some day drinking.The 2 ladies that run the bar are great and have always made me feel comfortable. Keep in mind the previous paragraph describes the pre-oil spill Sand Dollar. Since the oil spill, the crowd has changed dramatically. The Sand Dollar Marina serves as a cleanup command center, which means the crowd mostly consists of cleanup workers. Hopefully this will be changing soon, since some of the fisherman are returning and BP is in the process of scaling back its cleanup operations. The Sand Dollar bar was also on the Rachel Maddow show during the height of the oil spill frenzy. Rachel interviewed the two ladies that own the bar and tried one of their tarball shots on her show. The tarball is a jello shot consisting of Jager and grape koolaid. I don't like Jager, so it's not my thing, but I tried one for the hell of it. The Sand Dollar also has a convenience store with a deli in the back. I always get the fried shrimp poboy but I'm sure the other offerings are good as well.

    The marina store was great- the woman who helped us get our fishing licenses was really kind and…read morehelpful both times we were there!
