We walked the scenic trail up to the top. It was great exercise and the view paid off. After that we strolled back down to the bottom and located a lovely bar on the waters edge. The service and atmosphere was great. More

Warm and humid day but beautiful none the less. Trip Adviser forums had some sketchy reviews of this place to visit but my wife insisted so we hopped a boat out in front of our beach for $15 went over in about 15 min and had one of the best days of our vacation. Hiked up the Fort side then... More

I read that Pigeon Point Beach is one of the island’s best beaches and I agree. Though small like the other beaches on the island, they're white sands and much less rocks. It is a great little excursion approximately 35 miles from the Windjammer. There are some old French/British ruins (Fort Rodney) and the hike to the top of the... More

National Park with easy access by car even though it is on an island. Full of the history of St. Lucia (including pirate stories) and very beautiful. Walking trails are easy to access.

I was staying right at the Sandals St Lucia grande so this was a 10 minute walk from the hotel. The views here are excellent once you hike to the top. Make sure to wear tennis shoes or stable shoes since it's uneven terrarain. The fee to enter was $5/person. More

Had a half -day visit. Just right for visiting the old british fortifications and going on the two lovely quiet sandy beaches. Pity the visitor centre is no longer open - can't buy postcards etc. More
