Cameron Parish, Louisiana
Cameron Parish sits at the southwestern tip of Louisiana. It’s next to Texas and is along the Gulf of Mexico, where it meets the state’s marshy coastline. It has the second lowest population for counties in Louisiana.
It’s a place of stark beauty and resilience. Alligators outnumber people here, and the locals wouldn’t have it any other way. Fishing isn’t just a hobby. It’s a way of life.
You won’t find any big cities or shopping malls. Instead, there are miles of unspoiled beaches and wetlands teeming with wildlife. Birders flock to the area, hoping to spot rare species in the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge.
