Dulac blends everyday living with life on the water, where shrimp boats, marsh grass, and wide horizons set the scene. Set in Terrebonne Parish, this community is prized for fishing, crabbing, and paddling—weekends often start at a launch and end with a seafood boil. Nature lovers have easy access to the rich marshes and waterfowl habitat of Pointe-aux-Chenes Wildlife Management Area and the cypress-lined trails of Mandalay National Wildlife Refuge, making sunrise birding or an after-school cast for redfish part of the routine.
Families are served by the Terrebonne Parish School District, known for close-knit campuses and coastal-focused programs. Early learners begin at Grand Caillou Elementary School, with many students continuing to Grand Caillou Middle and ultimately South Terrebonne High, home to strong academics and spirited extracurriculars. From classroom tech to hands-on science tied to the wetlands, schools here reflect the region’s sense of place.
Community ties run deep. The Grand Caillou/Dulac Community Center anchors food assistance, after-school activities, and storm-preparedness workshops, while the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium’s marine center offers public talks and kid-friendly science that bring the bayou to life. For dining, medical care, and larger retailers, residents make the short drive to Houma, yet return home to quiet canals, porch sunsets, and neighbors who know your name.
