Discover the Historic Fort Livingston

Getting There

• Car

  From anywhere in Grand Isle, head south on LA-1 S. Continue on LA-1 S until you reach the end of the road, where you'll see a small parking area. Park your car here; this is the closest point to Fort Livingston. From here, you will need to walk approximately a quarter of a mile along the beach to reach the fort itself. Be prepared for sandy conditions and bring water and sunscreen.

• Bicycle

  If you're renting a bicycle in Grand Isle, you can ride south on LA-1 S. Follow the same route as cars, but be mindful of traffic. Once you reach the end of LA-1 S, you can lock your bike at the parking area and walk the remaining quarter mile to Fort Livingston along the beach. Ensure you have a good bike lock as the area may have limited supervision.

• Walking

  If you're already in a nearby location such as the Grand Isle State Park, you can walk south along the beach. The distance is roughly 1 mile from the park to Fort Livingston. Follow the shoreline, keeping an eye out for the fort as you approach. This route provides a scenic view but be cautious of the terrain and wear comfortable walking shoes.

• Public Transportation

  There are limited public transportation options in Grand Isle; however, you can consider using a local taxi or rideshare service to reach the end of LA-1 S. Once you arrive at the parking area, you will need to walk approximately a quarter of a mile to Fort Livingston along the beach. Make sure to confirm the fare with the driver before starting your journey.
