Get Hooked on Grand Isle...
FOR YOUR INFORMATION...
Posted 8/15/08
Welcome
to the only site dedicated solely to Grand Isle, Louisiana. The community
consists of both Grand
Isle and Cheniere Caminada and is located in Jefferson Parish at
the southern tip of La. Hwy. 1. Located on the Gulf of Mexico, the primary
businesses for island residents are tourism, the seafood industry, and oilfield related
professions. Originally inhabited in the early 1700's, Grand Isle is a relatively
small community with a population of approximately 1,500 people. However, during the
summer when vacationers begin flocking to the island, it is occupied by more than 12,000
tourists taking part in activities such as the Grand Isle International Tarpon Rodeo and
Fourth of July festivities. So, if you are looking for a fantastic vacation, come
visit Grand Isle and see why Louisiana is referred to as "The Sportsman's
Paradise".
Visit the Tourist
Info Center (GI Port Commission Bldg) for info and see the Butterfly Dome
If you have any questions, please contact the Tourism Department
at (985)787-2997 or email us at tourism@grand-isle.com.
