For a distinctive Louisianan experience, try this Gulf Coast beach where a sea of sawgrass peters out before a muddy brackish Gulf of Mexico.
Cypremort Point State Park is a public recreation area located on Vermilion Bay, Louisiana near the end of La. Hwy. 319. It is named for nearby Cypremort Point. Cypremort means "dead cypress" in French. The 185-acre (0.75 km2) park, set against a backdrop of coastal marsh, contains a half-mile stretch of man-made beach which contains picnic sites, a fishing pavilion and sailboat launch. Also, there are 6 cabins on the park grounds which may be reserved by guests. Chitimacha tradition says that one of 4 markers for their tribal land was a great cypress, at present-day Cypremort Point State Park. Cypremort Point is one of the few spots on the Louisiana Gulf coastline which may be accessed by road.

Also known as the Fuselier home after its original builder, Agricole Fuselier de la Claire, who was married to the daughter of the owner of Oak Alley, along with a host of other names. It was originally located near Baldwin but was floated up the Bayou Teche to this location. It was built in French Colonial style; however, it's not open to tourists and only viewable from the road.
Someone's labor of love near the shores of Lake Peigneur, with a cafe and statuary and roaming peacocks and dreamy sunset lake views.
A very photogenic Greek Revival sugar cane plantation house (no photography inside though) and garden.
Kind of your basic local history museum. But also, check out the Sliman theater next door with its art-deco style and large vertical Evangeline sign.
