Grand Isle is located in Jefferson Parish at the southern tip of LA. Hwy 1. Located on the Gulf of Mexico, the primary businesses for island residents are tourism, the seafood industry, and oilfield related professions. Called “The Sportsman’s Paradise,” Grant Isle is a relatively small community, which, during the summer, is occupied by more than 12,000 tourists participating in activities such as the Grand Isle International Tarpon Rodeo.
