Day 01 · Sand & sunsets
Start early at Cotton Bayou Beach, then enjoy a casual seafood lunch. Spend the afternoon settling into the coast’s slower pace. Head to The Wharf for dinner and a sunset stroll by the marina.
Day 02 · Trails & coastal flavors
Explore the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail in the cooler morning hours. Bring water and watch for wildlife from a distance. Try a waterfront lunch at the Gulf, then spend the afternoon on the beach before dinner at a local seafood restaurant.
Day 03 · Out on the water
Book a dolphin cruise with a licensed local operator; check weather and departure times first. Leave the afternoon free for shopping at The Wharf, a final swim when beach flags permit, or one last seafood lunch.
Confirm current hours, reservations, and weather before setting out.
