Location of Intracoastal City, Louisiana

Intracoastal City is a port facility in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana, 13 miles (21 km) south of Abbeville. It stands on the west bank of the Vermilion River at its junction with the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Intracoastal City is located at [29°47′03″N, 92°20′22″W]1.

Its attractions include heliports, a shrimp docking facility, and dry docks.

As it stands on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico somewhat remote from major settlements, it is often used by the National Hurricane Center as a breakpoint for tropical cyclone warnings and watches which affect the bayous of eastern Louisiana but not the west of the state.
