I went to this beach today. Lots of clouds mixed with sun which I think is pretty normal for St. Lucia. The cab is now $15 one way for two people. They want you to pay ahead of time for pick up but we just took the guys phone number and had the beach people call him when we were ready to return to the ship. Where they drop you off at chairs by restaurant, they are on a steep incline and under trees and $10 per piece. We walked down the beach to the sunny flat part and got chairs for $5 each. The waves were big and I didn’t get in, but it was really pretty and relaxing! $1 to have them unlock the bathroom by the restaurant. They are clean. In my opinion, it is too far to walk from port because you have to walk around the gated area of the runway at the airport.

We are staying at Bel Jou Hotel, Castries and found ourselves at Vigie beach having gone for a wonder. It's not that far to walk from the hotel, though very hilly in parts. We walked around the airport and through the cemetery, straight onto a secluded part of the beach. The only person we saw was a friendly chap with coconuts. Lots of shade to get comfy in as well. As we were in a non touristy part there were no sun loungers or food places, walk down the beach for those.

Vigie Beach surprised me. It was a very nice, quiet beach, at noon mid-week, with a very long stretch of lovely soft white sand. The water gently drifted to the shoreline and the drop off was further out. Although visitors can spread a towel around the shady trees anywhere, there are loungers available at the far left of the beach where there is a cafe, WC. Blue mesh loungers weren't the cleanest looking, probably $2 for $25, but I didn't inquire. Cruisers could walk 30 mnutes to the beach from the Pointe Seraphine harbor, but start in the morning for this walk as the streets are unshaded, particularly hot in the port area to the road parallel to the airport runway. Of course, taxis are available at the dock. I could spend a good part of the day at this beach on my next visit to Castries and not spend much money doing so.

On our Caribbean cruise we docked in Castries, St Lucia, and decided not to take an organised tour, but took a taxi with Abbot’s Taxi Service in the port, to Vigie Beach and had the most wonderful day. On arrival at the beach, we were met by a friendly young man, whose mother owned the Beach Bar I think and he immediately organised our beds and umbrella and said that he would organise our taxi back to port when we wanted to go. He recommended his mother’s rum punches, which was a great recommendation as they were the best rum punches of the trip!, The beach was beautiful and Daggery was giving horse rides with his lovely horse, Star. My girlfriend was interested in a ride and Daggery took her out to sea a little where she swam holding onto Star’s mane and as she she came into shore, she mounted Star, with Daggery’s help, and rode onto the beach. She said it was one of the best experiences of her life for a very nominal price. A day to certainly to be remembered and probably at half of the price of an excursion. Big thanks to Daggery, Star and the wonderful staff at Vigie Beach!! Also to Abbott’s Taxi Services.

We had 2 visits to Vigie beach on our recent 2week holiday. Our hotel bel jou had a shuttle bus running here 5 days a week and we had our own section of beach. Loungers were tired but there were plenty of them. No parasols which does need addressing as the sun is so hot however many took shade under the large tree if it got too hot. Lovely sand, clear sea, local food and drinks on offer both on the beach and close by with toilet facilities as well.

A lovely quite beach around a 25 minute walk from the cruise port. the walk takes you alongside the airport runway. We found a pleasant very small beach bar with around a dozen sunbeds and relaxed all day

Easy access and parking to this large stunning beach . There are a few bars and cafes on the beach , toilets are a two dollers a go. The food i the cafés looked good but we didn't eat just had a beer. The beach is easy access and just outside the capital Castries, it is next to a small airport but no jets just turbo props so not too noisey and not many flights, we saw three in two hours. There's a local cemetery that runs along the back of the beach but its dead quiet.

Our family lives on the Vigie peninsula. Visited the beach over the last 30 years. It is more or less “the beach in our backyard” This last visit surprised me, because my family wouldn’t let me visit the beach on my own. Something i have been doing for years. They build a new side walk that connects the beach with the cemetery, and is now more accessible for pedestrians. My family warned me that now that the beach is better to reach, more dubious people come there. In the past it wasn’t really issue, the beach was only more for the locals. And you could, more and less only reach the beach by car. The beach is kept rather clean, school children within an environmental program keep it tidy. The beach is nice, and you have some small food and drink options. But the fact that my own Saint Lucian family won’t let me visit the beach alone, says enough about safety and uneasy feelings of a once rather nice kept beach. Fore the love of this beautiful beach and my past experiences, i give a higher rating. But unfortunately of what it has become, i advise you not to venture to Vigie alone.

What a beach . So chilled yet again spoilt on the beach if your a Bel jou hotel guest you arrive near the rest station to be met by the hotel rep who takes your name and you get a sunbed she also has refreshments but like said the rest station is near with again food and drinks. If you want to explore the beach then the rep will look after your bags . When we arrived there was volunteers picking rubbish of the beach this is brought by ignorant people just dropping it come on clear your mess up keep a beautiful beach. On one of our visits we witnessed a cruise ship passengers arriving for there 1hour stay oh my goodness what a mess they left so sad come on people please its a great beach
