St. Lucia’s Gros and Petit Piton
St. Lucia’s Gros and Petit Piton are perhaps the island nation’s most notorious features. The gorgeous, lush mountains shoot over 700 meters into the sky on either side of Soufriere Bay, where you can visit the lovely Anse Chastenet Beach or the town of Soufriere. Sailboats can anchor or moor in this bay to enjoy an up-close view of the Pitons.
Pigeon Island is the first landmark you’ll see when approaching St. Lucia
Pigeon Island is the first landmark you’ll see when approaching St. Lucia from the Atlantic Ocean and points east. It marks the entrance to Rodney Bay, St. Lucia’s largest marina, complete with dockage, moorings, chandleries, hotels and restaurants. Rodney Bay is a great rendezvous marina, and it serves as host to several charter company bases as well as the completion of the annual Atlantic Rally for Cruisers.
This area of the Caribbean is particularly famous for its white-sand beaches. Pigeon Island Beach overlooking Pigeon Island in the northern corner of Rodney Bay is exceptionally lovely.
