Holly Beach Offers Outdoor Entertainment for Families
What if there was a beach within driving distance that wasn’t overcrowded or overly commercialized?
Known as the Cajun Riviera, Holly Beach is popular with families from Louisiana and Southeast Texas alike.
Whether you are looking to enjoy sun, crabbing, fishing, or shell collecting, Holly Beach is a great option. Veteran beachcombers say there are many varieties of shells on Holly Beach we can’t find in Texas. Most Southeast Texas shells are fairly small. On Holly Beach, many are larger than your hand.
Nature lovers, keep an eye out for dolphins. You can regularly see them from the beach – and occasionally a rare albino dolphin.
Are you a bird watcher or enthusiast? Crystal Beach is a great place to see Roseatte Spoonbills, Black and White Ibis, Brown or White Pelicans, Great Blue Heron, Mexican Whistling Ducks, Skimmers, Osprey, and more.
Most Gulf Coast beaches get dirty from time to time, but at Holly Beach, the local sheriff conducts regular clean up sessions.
Many families extend their stay tent camping on the beach or bringing their RV.
There is a fun beach within easy driving distance for your next family road trip – Holly Beach, Louisiana.
