Downtown Shopping
Between meals and shopping, it’s worth carving out time for the outdoors.
Just minutes from downtown, West Point Lake provides a beautiful change of pace. Many visitors head to Highland Marina to rent a pontoon boat and spend a few hours cruising the lake and soaking up the sunshine.
After a day on the water, stop by Captain’s at Highland Marina for waterfront dining. Fresh oysters, seafood favorites, and sweeping lake views make it the perfect place to unwind and recap the day.
Back in downtown LaGrange, the afternoon often turns into a little retail therapy. Stroll through charming local shops like EllieBelle’s, Splash Fine Gifts, Crafty Jaybird, and Marketplace at Lafayette Square, where stylish gifts, handmade goods, and unique finds make browsing part of the fun.
