Where to See Sunset Views in Lafayette This Summer
Summer is a beautiful season in the Lafayette area. The air is abuzz with activity as long, hot summer days fade into some of the most spectacular sunsets of the season. If you're looking for the best sunset views in Acadiana, our real estate agents have some helpful suggestions. Here's where to watch the sunset in Lafayette and the surrounding areas.
- Moncus Park - 2913 Johnston St, Lafayette, LA 70503
An independently operated nonprofit park in southeast Lafayette, Moncus Park is a beautiful green space that offers a wide range of recreation opportunities for the general public. Convenient to many Lafayette homes for sale, the park includes a 4-acre fishing pond and hiking trails lined with wildflowers and live oaks. The hill at the east end of Moncus Park is one of the highest points in Lafayette, making it a spectacular place to watch the sun set over the landscape beyond. The park is open daily until 10 pm. - Girard Park - 500 Girard Park Dr, Lafayette, LA 70503
Offering a pond and fountain, swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, Girard Park is a beautiful location for outdoor family outings. With a central location near Downtown Lafayette, it's also an ideal place to watch the sunset after spending a day checking out Lafayette open houses. A charming 0.3-mile loop path encircles the pond, leading to a fishing dock and platform that provide great vantage points for watching the sun sink low over the water. - Lake Martin - 1209 Rookery Rd, Breaux Bridge, LA 70517
Some of the best sunsets and sunrises in Acadiana can be enjoyed by heading just a few miles east of Lafayette to Lake Martin. Part of an extensive wildlife preserve, the lake is a haven for bird watching and wildlife photography. Herons and egrets stalk the shallows at dusk along a lakeshore populated by bullfrogs, alligators, and turtles. For the best view, make your way to the east side of the 800-acre lake, where a long man-made peninsula extends into the water. The nearby docks are also the starting point for Cajun Country Swamp Tours. - Henderson Levee - Henderson, LA 70517
The community of Henderson is just a 20-minute drive east of Lafayette, and the area offers some of the best sunset views around. Henderson is located alongside Bayou Amy, and the levee on the east side of the bayou offers unbroken sunset views for miles. You can get a great look at the setting sun from practically anywhere along the levee, which is paralleled by Henderson Levee Road. The Atchafalaya Basin Wilderness Bike Trail also runs along the top of the levee for 55 miles, offering an excellent setting for a sunset bike ride. - Cypremort Point - 306 Beach Ln, Cypremort Point, LA 70538
Although it is nearly an hour's drive south of Lafayette, Cypremort Point is worth the trip for anyone who wants to see the most stunning sunsets in Acadiana. The point extends westward into the vast expanse of Vermillion Bay, and the sunsets over the open water are simply extraordinary. Nearby Cypremort Point State Park offers camping, boat launch facilities, and a swimming beach, and the views from the park are also excellent.
