GMA Dave Trips: Cypremort Point Beach Trip Without The Long Drive . and last updated 2021-05-07 06:56:07-04 Louisiana is not known for it's white sandy beaches like other Gulf Coast states. But if you want to get away to just stare out at the horizon of the open water, then Cypremort Point is close by. Between Grand Isle and the Cameron Parish coast, it's one of the few places where you can see the Gulf of Mexico, and reach it by car. Unfortunately, because of hurricanes, there aren't many places to get supplies, but you can surely stock up on necessary items in New Iberia, or Lydia. The drive there is really pretty as you go over coastal marsh. But you get a surprise when the road goes hilly for a few minutes near Weeks Island.
