St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana

Saint Bernard Location Map Louisiana

St. Bernard Parish is just southeast of New Orleans, hugging the Mississippi River as it winds towards the Gulf of Mexico. The parish took a beating from Hurricane Katrina in 2005. They’ve rebuilt, stronger than ever.

It’s catfish paradise. The wetlands teem with wildlife, from gators to herons. And man, the food… If you haven’t tried char-grilled oysters or a real po’boy, you’re missing out.

St. Bernard Parish has a strong sense of history and resilience. It has a natural beauty in a way that’s hard to find anywhere else. Although St. Bernard might be small, it’s got heart.
