Grand Isle and the coastal marshes of the Louisiana coast define this reach where Caminada Bay meets the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is a complex network of tidal channels and basins, including Bayou Garci, Bayou Laurier, and the curiously named Bayou Thunder Von Tranc. On the barrier beach, the community of Cheniere Caminada sits near the Cheniere Caminada Cem, a location deeply tied to the local history of the Lafourche and Jefferson Parish boundary line.
