The New York Times’ annual list of places to go has been published for 2020 and Grand Isle has made the coveted list. Grand Isle is No 19 on the list as one of this year’s top travel experiences for tourists. “Grand Isle is honored to be on this list next to places from across the globe. We hope this brings much needed attention to our beautiful island and highlights our fight to save Grand Isle and coastal Louisiana from rising seas and coastal erosion,” said, David Camardelle, Mayor of Grand Isle. Grand Isle is described as “a longtime sport and commercial fishing hub two hours south of New Orleans.” The New York Times contributor Christopher Hall depicts the island as a place that is “hauntingly beautiful,” offering sandy beaches, migrating birds, twisted oaks in a maritime forest and a nearby pelican rookery—All while being at the epicenter of the world’s highest rates of relative sea level rise.
