Delcambre is a waterfront community where everyday life hums to the rhythm of shrimp boats and bayou breezes. Locals gather along Bayou Carlin for seafood markets and live music, and the calendar peaks with the storied Delcambre Shrimp Festival, a celebration of Gulf harvests, savory boils, and family-friendly entertainment at its official festival site. The working waterfront at the Port of Delcambre anchors the town’s economy and recreation, offering boat launches, fishing access, and the lively Bayou Carlin Cove scene. For fresh-off-the-boat flavors, the community-backed Louisiana Direct Seafood – Delcambre program connects residents to local fishers in real time.
Families appreciate strong neighborhood schools—Delcambre Elementary and Delcambre High—supported by the Iberia Parish School District, with spirited athletics, practical career pathways, and community involvement that keeps school events on everyone’s radar. Weekend plans often include camping, paddling, or birding at nearby Palmetto Island State Park, while anglers head toward Vermilion Bay before dawn.
Commuting is easy, with job centers, hospitals, and universities within reach of New Iberia, Abbeville, and Lafayette. Housing ranges from classic cottages to updated homes near the water, and community pride shows up in festivals, fishing tournaments, and porch-to-porch hospitality.
