Bayview Inn - Cypremort
Point Louisiana - Cranking Up
Bayview Inn at Cypremort Point on the Louisiana
coastline has had miserable luck. Last summer Hurricane Barry walloped the
establishment and forced the owners to rebuild. Months after re-opening, the Covid-19
virus hit south Louisiana and sabotaged Bayview’s operations. Things are revving up however. Bayview just announced live music for the Memorial Day weekend.
For my non-Louisiana readers, Bayview is a Vermilion
Bay hole in the wall with a boat fueling dock, market, and a bar and grill. If
you go, I strongly recommend you chit chat with the people there, with Bayview
staff, and particularly with the fishermen who stop in for a cold beer and a burger. There are valuable things to be learned. You might learn, for instance, who is selling their fishing camp at a sweet price because
of the slumped oil and gas economy, or how to make crab stew, or that praying to the Virgin Mary helps you catch speckle trout. On a recent trip I learned that Paul
Melancon holds the record for the largest Red Snapper caught in the Iberia Rod
and Gun Club Fishing Rodeo.
If you do nothing else, sit at a table near the water and sip a martini and look at the bay.

I have seen some memorable sunsets in my life
time, particularly along Mediterranean, Aegean, and Adriatic shorelines. I once saw a sunset on the coast of Peru that brought me to my knees. Sunsets over
Vermilion Bay rank right up there. Teal Billeaud Brauns photographed this Vermilion Bay sunset. Teal has spent practically every weekend of her life at Cypremort Point.
It was painful to watch video of last year’s storm
damage. Hurricane Barry’s winds and flood waters weakened the fueling dock,
blew doors off frames, and collapsed interior walls. The kitchen was destroyed.
The owners had to wait for the water to subside before they could haul away the
heavy debris, lumber and aluminum panels, scattered throughout the premises. And
they had to wait for power to be restored before they could rebuild. Now the joint is spiffy.
Expect things to get really cranked up when the fishing
tournaments take place in July.
