New year, new you, right? There’s something so mesmerizing about watching a sunset, and Louisiana sure does have some pretty spots to park it at the end of the day. Not only will these incredible sunsets make you fall in love with Louisiana all over again, but they might just inspire you for the new year.
- Lake Martin
Henry R./Trip Advisor One of the prettiest places to watch a sunset in Louisiana is Lake Martin. This little Breaux Bridge beauty is easily seen from your car, but the nature trail offers some lovely views, too.
- Lake Pontchartrain
Vicki R./Trip Advisor If you live on the Northshore, consider spending an evening watching the sunset over Lake Pontchartrain. Both the Mandeville Lakefront and Fontainebleau State Park offer phenomenal views.
- Grand Isle
Rick Goodwin/Google Head on down to the tip of the boot to see a sunrise over the Gulf at Grand Isle. Grand Isle State Park has an incredible 100-foot pier, pictured above, that will give you a great view of the sunset.
- Cypremort Point State Park
Cypremort Point State Park/Facebook There’s something so relaxing about watching a sunset over the water, and Cypremort Point State Park has some of the best views ever. Several picnic benches pepper the shoreline, offering a front row seat of the sunset over Vermilion Bay.
- Prien Lake
Katie/Google Prien Lake Park is a beautiful little 29-acre park that’s perfect for watching the sunset over Prien Lake. If you’re in the Lake Charles area, this one is an absolute must.
- Holly Beach
Amy Britt/Google Known as the “Cajun Riveria,” Holly Beach is a great little secluded spot to take a leisurely stroll through the sand while catching a sunset over the Gulf.
- Lake Claiborne
Christine W./Trip Advisor If you’re in the northern part of the state, Lake Claiborne never disappoints when it comes to sunsets. Lake Claiborne State Park is your best bet when watching a sunset like this, and it’s certainly one you’ll remember.
- Lake Charles
Mohammad Alamrad/Google Another Lake Charles favorite, viewing the sunset over the lake from Millennium Park will inspire you to reach all your goals this year.
- Toledo Bend
Steve Buser/Gogle Finally, Toledo Bend. This massive reservoir can be viewed from either North or South Toledo Bend State Park. Whichever you choose, you’re in for an insane color splash.
