Despite being on the Gulf Coast, Louisiana doesn’t have the endless miles of beaches that our Alabama or Florida neighbors are known for. But don’t be fooled, Louisiana does have some beautiful beaches that are perfect for an adventure on a warm day. When you’re looking for a bit of solitude and fun in the sun, a trip to this underrated sandy beach in Louisiana is just the ticket.
Hiding in the tiny town of Homer, Lake Claiborne State Park is a little slice of paradise that’s just waiting to be explored.
The 643-acre state park offers something for everyone. Nature lovers will enjoy traversing through the endless miles of hiking trails and fisherman will love casting their line from the dock. The park is also home to two of the top ranking disc golf courses in the state.
Situated on an inlet of the lake and safe from boaters, the beach is the perfect spot for a summer day. Benches and picnic tables aren’t too far away, and the treeline provides some much needed shade on those hot summer days.
You’ll quickly fall in love with this beautiful beach. You may even want to make a weekend out of it, which is great, because the park has several lakeside cabins available for rent. Primitive camping is also available, if you prefer to rough it.
