One of St. Lucia’s best beaches is Pigeon Point to the north, adjoining the Pigeon Island National Park. Once the home of Amerindians, a hideout for pirates and a military base for the British, it’s now a popular recreational area. Quiet and uncrowded the pristine white sand beach is the ideal place for a picnic, wedding or simply some quiet alone time. It’s also the perfect place to combine sunning and swimming with a visit to a mini museum and a climb to a vantage point to see historic Fort Rodney ruins and views of the distant island of Martinique. Two eateries stand ready to fill your needs. Pigeon Island is joined to the rest of mainland St. Lucia by a causeway making it easily accessible.

The area is renowned for its long white sandy beach, sheltered with tropical greenery. With about five miles of white sand on Rodney Bay, St. Lucia’s Reduit Beach is ideal for a long stroll along the shore and a swim in the calm, warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. One of St. Lucia’s most popular beaches, Reduit Beach is fronted by the Rex St. Lucian, Papillon, and Royal St. Lucian hotels, along with the Bay Gardens Beach Resort and Spa. There are restaurants, and vendors renting water-sports equipment and lounge chairs. Reduit Beach has bars and sports hire facilities, but can get crowded due to its popularity. During the weekend this is one of several beaches frequented by many St. Lucians.
