One of Louisiana's finest areas for sailing, the park includes a sand launch designed especially for catamarans, sunfish and windsurfers. As sailboats and windsurfers race across Vermilion Bay, families picnic, sunbathe, play along the beach and enjoy the spectacle. Between Grand Isle and Cameron, Cypremort Point is the only locality near the Gulf of Mexico that can be reached by car. A half-mile stretch of a man-made beach provides a delightful area for relaxing, picnicking and enjoying the water. It also affords an opportunity for fishing, crabbing, water skiing, windsurfing and, of course, sailing.
A fish cleaning station is one of the amenites offered at the cabins. Six water-front cabins offer a scenic opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Vermilion Bay on an overnight basis. Each cabin sleeps up to 8 guests comfortably, and provides full kitchen and bath facilities.
Numerous picnic tables, barbeque grills and covered picnic pavilions with nearby restroom facilities and outdoor showers are located throughout the park, adding to Cypremort Point's family appeal. |
| Nature of the Area: |
| In addition to excellent sailing and swimming facilities, the 185-acre park also holds a special attraction for nature enthusiasts. Located in the heart of a Louisiana marsh, the site contains an abundance of wildlife. The quiet observer may happen upon nutria, muskrat, alligator or a number of bird species native to the state. Deer, black bear, rabbits, opossum and red fox also make their home in this area, so stay aware of your surroundings and you may discover more of the natural charm of Cypremort Point. |

Best beach and natural area in Louisiana
I am a native to Louisiana, but I have been living in Missouri for 17 years. Recently, I came back home to Crowley and brought my girlfriend to Avery Island to see the Tabasco factory and Jungle Gardens. She had never been to Louisiana and I thought maybe she needed to see the Gulf of Mexico. I was pleasantly surprised how nice Cypremont Point State Park was. We spent some time walking along the beach and just enjoying the scenery and the nice breeze.

| Fishing and Hunting: |
| A boat launch just outside the park's entrance is only a few miles from the Gulf of Mexico, and fishermen can venture out to fish in the Gulf or Bay. Catches of flounder and redfish are not uncommon in the area. For those interested in fishing from the shore, a 100-foot fishing pier is situated on the Bay. |
