Baywalk Shopping Mall

Shopping mall
Baywalk Shopping Mall is located in a picturesque bay with a natural harbor, known as the Hurricane Hole due to its protection from strong winds. It offers a variety of modern and traditional shops, including well-known brands and local stores. The mall provides a fully air-conditioned environment, free parking, and multiple dining options. Visitors can enjoy duty-free shopping by presenting their ID and flight information.
At this location you will find a supermarket that has patties and a juice place that serves amazing food. I had the falafel and hummus there and there was one lady that was making all of the drinks on her own. I knew it had to be tough but her food was so good. I really really really enjoyed my meals there. This little shopping mall has a little bit of everything and it's close to another big mall across the street in Rodney Bay. Definitely a little skimpy on the parking but it's a good nice area to be

Well structured for a mall. The outside is pretty with a colonial vibe. It's in an accessible area near a main bus route. A variety of clothing and shoe stores, government offices, Anthony's Jewellers, eating spots, supermarket, pharmacy etc. Most places are mid to upper priced. Some of the stores appear to carry counterfeit. I bout a pair of Reefs at Taxi Shoe Store that quickly lost it's shine. The mall is not great for the environment as there are no visible measures to contain or restrict use of A/C. The bathroom is usually clean but could use some air filtering, better sinks and have soap available consistently. Makes one wonder about the staff of the stores.
Great parking and disability friendly. The escalators are often out of order but the elevators usually work.
The mall is clean with a good amount of duty free stores. Ensure you carry an ID and your flight information to benefit from the duty free. Free Parking is available and multiple restaurants are in the mall as well as on the other side of the road.
Nice hang out spot and great place to shop for clothing, souvenirs, food ect.
At Baywalk Mall, Mall has duty free shopping, grocery shopping, restaurants, casino, bank and sheltered carpark, security and well maintained. Lovely mall for shopping, dinning and liming.
Great variety of shops, including duty-free. Very lean and tidy.
It's hot in there. The air conditioning is in some stores. The main hallways are hot.
Great customer service and a variety of stores to explore

Matthew's Rooftop Restaurant is a great option for local cuisine with stunning panoramic views of Rodney Bay. The friendly and professional staff are welcoming and create an atmosphere of warmth. There is also plenty to drink and enjoy, including cocktails on the rooftop terrace.
The place has a nice vibe. Our server was not really friendly. I ordered the fried snapper and it came.with salad and peas and rice. The food was delicious. The price was reasonable. My friend had the fish burger which came with salad. It was good.

My daughter and I had a lovely lunch date here on April 29. Kim, our server, was friendly and attentive which made the experience even better. The food was good, but the service and company made it a nice afternoon.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
My husband and I had a wonderful date night at Matthew’s Rooftop Restaurant, and it was nothing short of amazing! 💫 From the moment we arrived, everything—from the food 🍽️, to the atmosphere 🌃, to the service 👌🏽—was truly 5 out of 5.
I ordered the Mama’s Chicken and my husband had the Curried Chicken—both dishes were absolutely mouthwatering 😋🔥. Honestly, I wouldn't change a thing and would order the exact same meal next time!
We were seated on the balcony, which made the experience even more special 🌅. The view overlooking Rodney Bay was beautiful, and it was the perfect spot to enjoy our meal while soaking in the lively energy below. Dining under the open sky with the soft Caribbean breeze was unforgettable 🌴✨.
After dinner, we took a short, relaxing stroll through the mall downstairs 🛍️, before heading back to our stay at Coco Palm Resort—which, by the way, is another place I’d highly recommend for a perfect getaway! 🏨💕
Whether you're planning a romantic date night 💑, a girls’ night out 💃🏽, or just kicking it with the crew 🧑🏽🤝🧑🏽, Matthew’s Rooftop Restaurant offers a vibe that fits every occasion.
Can’t wait to go back! 💖🍴🌆
We had a fantastic experience at Matthew's during our recent stay in St Lucia. We weren't quite sure what to have, but the helpful gentleman outside the restaurant helped us by suggesting some of the most popular local dishes. Good value for money, fantastic service with staff who look after you very well
I had dinner at Matthew's a few weeks ago and had a pretty mediocre experience overall.
The restaurant was not too busy, many empty tables, but the service we had was slow. We were seated around 8:40pm, ordered maybe 10 minutes later, and received our food by 9:36pm, nearly an hour later. The food did not taste like it was freshly made, either, to explain the time it took.
I ordered the Cream Penne Pasta with Chicken and my partner got the Baked BBQ Chicken, and both were fairly average. My pasta visually looked messy and unappealing. I also got a rum punch, but it had an overly sweet taste, which I didn't like.
Overall, I can't recommend this restaurant when there are others, much better, within walking distance.
The views from this restaurant and the ambiance really belongs on a postcard.
We were just passing through St Lucia for a few days and we stayed near Rodney Bay. The locals raved about how much we would love this place and we did!
The food had soul - delicious and unique. So many beautiful people came and went when we were there enjoying the sunset. Great place to chill out.
We Came from Toronto and visited Matthew's Roof top. We came in with a party of 17 and the servers and chef did an excellent job. Food came out much faster than expected. The staff was friendly and exceeded all of our expectations. When I come back to St
Lucia we will be sure to visit Matthew's rooftop again. Thank you for the wonderful service.

Restaurant
Big Chef Steakhouse, a renowned restaurant in Castries for over 20 years, is a top dining destination in St. Lucia. Specializing in premium USA-certified Angus steaks prepared by award-winning chefs to perfection, the menu also features fresh seafood and crisp salads. The full-service bar and lounge are staffed with some of the island's best bartenders.
One of the best, if not the best, dinning experiences I had in St Lucia. Staff is amazing, helpful and great service. Owner was present, helpful and greeted many guests. More importantly, the food was even better. Pictures below. After almost 13 days on the island....this place is certainly one not to miss especially if you are on the north side of the island.

We had an amazing dinner at Big Chef Steakhouse. We were welcomed by the hostess even though we didn't have a reservation. The steak was perfectly cooked to medium temperature, and the fries were well seasoned. The dessert was good, too. I wasn't crazy about the drink I ordered because it was a mixture of a mojito and a margarita. All in all, if you are visiting St. Lucia, definitely check out this restaurant and dress up because it is fine dining.
Big Chef in Rodney Bay was such a beautiful dining experience. I had the special of the night, the tuna with Japanese rice, and it was incredible. I also had a classic margarita and it was perfect, smooth and refreshing. The food was full of flavor and presented with so much care. The service was very professional and the atmosphere felt elegant and upscale. This was one of my favorite meals in St Lucia and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fine dining experience.
A Culinary Journey with a Romantic Touch
Big Chefs Steakhouse offers a truly unforgettable dining experience. The atmosphere is both romantic and elegant, perfect for a special occasion or a night out.
The food is simply divine. The chefs expertly incorporate local flavors into their dishes, creating a unique and delicious culinary experience. Every bite is a flavor explosion.
The service is impeccable. Our waitress, Kissy, was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided excellent recommendations. Her friendly demeanor made our dining experience even more enjoyable.
Overall, Big Chefs Steakhouse is a must-visit for anyone seeking a fine dining experience in a beautiful setting.
Kudos to the chefs - the food was amazingly delicious. Everything was seasoned to perfection and the steak just melt in your mouth. Wish I could visit at least once a month just to eat that steak 🤤 Staff were great and attentive. I would definitely be visiting again 10/10
This was the best dining experience that I've had in SLU thus far!
Everything I ate that night was a solid 10/10. The service was immaculate, and the ambience was superb. I will definitely return.
Amazing place !! The food is off the chart good. The service by Danny was just incredible. She was prompt , friendly , fun and became an integral part of the night. I have been to excellent restaurants throughout North America and I would rank this one right with them. Outstanding
The food was absolutely wonderful!! We were there celebrating my wife’s birthday and everything went well beyond my expectations. I had the Sea Bass and my wife chose the NY Strip as her main course, when I tell you that Sea Bass was wonderful it’s an understatement. I never finish a plate when we’re out dining; that was not a problem this evening, we both devoured our meals in record setting times. I would visit this establishment again with no apprehension on what I would be expecting. Great Job to the Chef and the establishment…

Bar
Ultra Lounge is a popular spot located along the Rodney Bay Strip, surrounded by various restaurants and bars. The ambiance is enhanced by cool breezes and great lighting, while the friendly staff ensures quick service and a welcoming atmosphere. The DJ curates an enjoyable music selection, catering to different tastes. While some patrons have noted minor issues with restroom facilities, overall satisfaction with the experience is high.
I'm visiting from Bermuda, and I just have to share how amazing my experience at Ultra Lounge was! I kicked things off with the loaded nachos, and honestly, the portion was so generous that I was able to share it with two friends. For my main dish, I went with the cajun shrimp along with a garden salad and coleslaw. Everything was so well-seasoned, and the presentation was simply gorgeous! Our server Miguells was super friendly and made sure to check on us throughout our meal, which really made us feel taken care of. Plus, it was really impressive to see the chef and his team come out of the kitchen to check on us too! Overall, a fantastic dining experience!

Male Bartender with braids was very standoffish and rude. Ignored us and helped others before us even though we had already ordered. Made the same drink perfectly 4 times before and ours came out looking super different. Won’t come back, need better customer service here if you want our money.
The food is gross and weirdly sweet. We ordered chicken loaded nachos and while we’re nowhere close to Mexico I wasn’t expecting the “tortilla chips” to be Doritos cool ranch. Or the chicken to be bbq chicken portions with the bone still in. Or the sauce on the bottom that is clearly not sour cream. The “cajun” crispy calamari was mostly friend pineapple which wasn’t stated on the menu???? We sent back the food and yet we were still charged it. Great so we paid for things we didn’t consume because they were poorly made & described. Ordered chicken Alfredo to go. Wasn’t told it was BBQ chicken with Alfredo on the side. It was also sweet which makes no sense. Idk what they have going on in that kitchen. Just come here for drinks and get food anywhere else on the street
The food and drink at Ultra Lounge are good. I have never left feeling hungry or unsatisfied in that regard. Their Amaretto Sour is the best that I have ever tasted.The level of service has unfortunately fallen considerably since I first went there in 2018. Looks like there has recently been a turnover of staff, so the newbies are still learning the ropes and it shows.
I think that it was a good initiative to have a food or drink theme for every day of the week, however, it may work in their favour to not be open everyday.
The menu for theTropical Brunch theme on Sundays is anything but tropical-inspired and does not occur during typical brunch hours (a brunch beginning at 2pm is NOT a brunch). Moreover, whenever items are not on the menu, patrons should be informed as soon as they are handed the lists of food and drink items. Perhaps a chalkboard advertising what's on for the day, placed on the sidewalk, should help.
Ultra Lounge has much potential to be better than they currently are. If something does not change soon, the neighbouring establishments may just give them a run for their money.
Had a wonderful time drinks are great.. But please think twice about purchasing the BBQ Chicken pizza.. It doesn't look good and not want you expect, complete insult to the Pizza industry...
Excellent service drinks were 10/10. Friendly staff
Ultra has an awesome location cool breeze and great lighting. The staff is quite friendly and attends to you in quick time they are very informative. Scenry greatest and the DJ knows what songs to play at the idle time. Dissatisfaction is quickly attended to, ensuring that you leave completely satisfied by nights end. Location of restrooms desire attention, more specifically "security".
Excellent service,strongly recommend requesting the brain hemorrhage shot.

Japanese restaurant
Sakuragi, a Japanese eatery in St. Lucia, is a must-visit destination for those seeking diverse menu options. Customers can enjoy the flavorful tonkotsu ramen or opt for the lunch special, although it's worth noting that the price has increased to $30 instead of the advertised $25. The generous portion sizes and authentic taste transport diners back to Japan.
Delicious and authentic sushi, prepared fresh right in front of you. There are also noodle dishes and gyoza, as you would expect in any modern Japanese restaurant. Worth booking ahead of time, as it gets busy in the evenings.

Bao buns were a 10/10! A must have when visiting.
Sushi and drinks were great as well. Lovely service.
Been there twice. First time was closer to when they first opened a few years ago. The second time (very recently) me and a girlfriend sat down about 6:30. By 8:00 we were done and enjoying our drinks. We were then asked to give up our table for a "reservation" with the option of moving to outside or to the bar. Sure, by that time we had already gotten our bill (over $300.00 btw), but to assume we were done and approach us about giving up our table, not knowing if we would like to place another order, and when there were no reservations signs anywhere, is dishonest and déclassé. If it was a reservation the seats would be reserved right???
The food was good, a bit better than Rituals Sushi, but not so good that I would intentionally risk that treatment again. Didn't help that the reservation group didn't look like locals either.
Great spot for fresh local sushi in St. Lucia. The food here is incredible. Highly recommend the Tuna Tataki and Shrimp Bao Buns. That being said, they were out of salmon and sold out of a lot of items on their menu taking away from the experience. Service is also terrible. We had to get up multiple times to find our server to ask for things we needed or even just get drinks. It gets very busy here, so i recommend making reservations.
Price is in EC. Very affordable and fresh sushi. There are enough vegetarian/vegan options, including the bento box which I had. The sushi was excellent, staff are friendly and the location is very easy to get to! Definitely reccomend
I thought the menu was in USD so we paid almost 200 for dinner, than waitresses came with info that menu is in carrabien dolars so we are very grateful that she was honest and didn’t take the MONEY 😁. The food was excellent 👍🏼.
A great sushi date night! You HAVE to try the Sushi Pizza to start (pictured). It’s outstanding. 👌🏽 Our favorite rolls were Joe Twister and Green Beret. My Tuna Nigiri had huge pieces of tuna and the Hamachi was my favorite nigiri.
One of our favorite meals on the island. The sushi was fresh and delicious. We even got a Filipino pork belly dish to try for the first time, and we loved it! They serve sushi and Filipino dishes. Such an interesting combo but I loved it! Service was great and most importantly the place was clean including the restroom.

Absolutely phenomenal experience!
If you're looking for authentic Jamaican flavor, look no further — this is the place. From the moment we walked in, the service was nothing short of spectacular. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting, it instantly makes you feel at home — like you've been transported straight to the heart of Jamaica.
Now let's talk about the food... WOW. Every bite bursts with rich, bold Caribbean spices and perfectly balanced flavors. You can tell the dishes are made with love and true island soul. The drinks? Just as amazing — refreshing, creative, and the perfect complement to the meal.

Alicia was the most AMAZING server I’ve had in Lucia. I come to visit family all the time and she had some of the best service I’ve ever received on the island. She made our drinks and they were all so good. The food was so flavorful. All the sides are amazing, can’t go wrong with either of them. The snapper is good no matter how it’s cooked. The goat was also so good. Make sure you guys ask for Alicia!!
I had to choose from 3 different restaurants and ended up choosing Tracks Sports Bae and Grill.
First and foremost Alicia was amazing, I had the best whiskey sour since I landed here 1 week ago. For food I had fried king fish, coconut rice and peas, fried plantains and garden salad and it was very flavorful, my friends even “buss ah sweat eating the food”
This is a definite must go…
I loved 😍 everything about this place.
Tracks Sports Bar is the best in town.
Comfortable surroundings, great food and staff, excellent food presentation 👌 and well, the vegetable spring roll starter before the jerk chicken plantain 😋 rice and peas - whats not to love!!! I had the bailey's or wine as my accompanying drink and was impressed each time with the wine. Good measures of spirit drinks so be careful, or you may get tipsy.
I thank the chef, his wife and Aleisha for showing me great hospitality and warm energy on every visit. I went everyday for a week!!! Except Tuesday as they were closed. The music sound quality 👌 🎶 the playlist - reggae, dance hall, ragga-ton and afrobeats will keep me moving for some time to come. If you get the opportunity to dine here you must absolutely 💯 do it 😉 !!!
Our favourite restaurant in Rodney bay, we’ve been twice and will go again before we go home. Food is amazing, we had jerk chicken and pork. Good portions with a choice of 3 sides. The tastiest meals we had in St Lucia.
The service was excellent, we seated where we wanted, always checking on if we needed anything . Friendly and tasty food. You have to try it.
Absolutely loved my experience here! The food was amazing—full of flavor and truly authentic Jamaican cuisine. You can tell everything is made with care and tradition. Our server, Alicia was so pleasant and friendly, which made the experience even better. The drinks were also on point—strong, tasty, and perfectly crafted. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great vibes and even better food!
Food was good, atmosphere was chill and comfortable. They have pool tables, and tvs with sports on. Service was great, they were attentive and friendly.
That jerk flavor..its giving REAL jerk chicken. Everything was well prepared. The portions are a little too small, in my opinion but it does surprisingly fill you up. Customer service was great. Chill ambiance. Great cocktails. I took pics from my first visit, but the lighting does no justice. I definitely recommend!

If you're on the lookout for a delightful dining experience, Jade Terrace Chinese Restaurant is definitely worth a visit. I recently indulged in their shrimp with broccoli, which was quite tasty! While I felt it could have benefited from a touch more brown sauce, the overall flavor was satisfying. The combination of great food and attentive service makes this spot stand out as an excellent choice for anyone craving authentic Chinese cuisine.

Worstest Chinese food I have since my visits in New York and China wontons were good but binding wasn't pleasant..taste of soup was really pathetic I wasted my money 16 EC ..I have been through Chinatown in sanfransisco..but quality here and the sauces is mismatching ..overall very bad Chinese food I recommend you to some other place in castries town.
Food was good. Had the shrimp with broccoli. Could have used a little more brown sauce but overall it was good.
Food was reasonably priced and tasted ok, rice could have been cooked a bit more thoroughly. It made me remember why I don't eat Chinese. The lady at the counter was also very rude, when I asked a question about one of the menu items.
I will not be eating here again.
Don't even bother. Food is tasteless and I ordered chicken fried rice and they forgot to add chicken. I got a big container of rice, carrots and cabbage. Didn't realize this until I left and was already back at my hotel. Wonton soup was bland and left a lot to be desired.
I didn't get the chance to order food. I waited about fifteen minutes IN the shop. When I got to order I was VERY rudely told the place was closed. What a disgusting way to treat customers. Not to mention the ameturue way of their pricey list. The management should be ashamed.
Firstly I would like to begin the the fact that the floors where dirty qhen we fot to the place. The food was very much tasteless the chicken was uncooked and the vegetables were soggy. Overall the experience was really bad especially when we went to tell the lady who served us that the food was uncooked she was rude and yelled at us. If you're looking for a great experience this is not the place for you
We had the deep fried chicken balls then fried rice and roast chicken. The chicken balls were spongy and seemed almost undercooked inside. The rice was very bland - we had to use ketchup and pepper to make the dish taste decent. The chicken was good but despite this I wouldn't want to visit again.

Naked Fisherman Restaurant is a lively and fun-loving beachside seafood restaurant located below the Cap Maison Resort, nestled in a protected cove under a thatched-roof kitchen. It offers well-executed versions of bar favorites like Kobe burgers and calamari, as well as traditional St. Lucian dishes such as creole fish stew and saltfish. The restaurant boasts stunning vistas and warm hospitality, making it an ideal spot to enjoy delicious food alongside breathtaking views.
This is a slice of luxury. We booked for lunch and arrived at 10am. We knew we couldn’t hire beds on the beach but what we didn’t know is that because we had a reservation we could use a double bed attached to the restaurant. We had amazing views over the bay, sheltered from the blazing sun by a huge tree. The snorkelling here was great and in the rock pools we found lots of fishes and hermit crabs.
The cocktails and food are one of the best we’ve experienced on the island. It’s expensive but it’s good. Great kids menu, our boys 5 & 8 ate all their food and enjoyed the puddings.
I would definitely recommend a visit and making a day of it. It’s very special
Natasha R — Google review
The vibes in this place is everything. The drinks, food,(the seafood stew - easily the best thing we had on the entire island!, and split corn 'ribs', seafood mac & cheese) the location and music is almost perfect! The staff especially, are attentive, with spot on recommendations and are incredibly accommodating. *Side eye to a few pesky mosquito bites (have repellent handy especially in the shade). Loved our day here!
What can I say… The food was absolutely delicious. While I did not taste everything, what I did taste was stunning. I would recommend getting there just before sunset and enjoying a drink on their beach. We got there just after sunset and enjoyed hearing the crashing waves while we indulged in our food. This to me is a perfect spot for any couple. The service was exemplary and friendly. The overall price of everything is comparable to what you would expect in the United States at a three or four star dining experience.
Came over due to the inedible food at sandals and so glad we did.
The place is 91 steps down from the street which also makes it 91 steps up so be aware of that.
We were seated peoples and listed to some nice Caribbean music in the background which did not detract from the waves crashing on the beach. Our waitress was warm and gracious. We started with the corn ribs which were fantastic. Spicy, sweet. Great flavor. We also had the ceviche which was served with some tortilla chips and they were bright and flavorful.
I had the Maui with pumpkin curry which was fresh and delicious. We also had jerk chicken skewers which was perfectly spicy and served with a great coleslaw which my spouse loved.
Corkage was $35 US. Not an inexpensive meal but well worth it.
If I could give this place 6 stars I would! The setting is breathtaking, the service is top notch and the food absolutely delicious. I had the seafood mac and cheese. Soo creamy with shrimp, mahi, clams and mussels! All together this was one of my favorite meals of my entire life!
A unique beach restaurant in the north of Saint Lucia. Proper dining on the beach with the active sea in the background. It is an amazing experience.
The food is tasty and worth every one of the near 100 stairs to get to it. If you ate sinfully, the climb back up is good pennance. But don't worry, there is a nice, thoughtful resting place halfway up or down, depending on which direction you're moving.
The staff are engaging and warm.
It's a no cash restaurant.
We made a reservation but it didn’t seem like we needed it when we came in early December for lunch. We ordered the hummus, pork skewers and the calamari. The hummus and local bread was our favorite. Great vibes and good music. Nice and secluded beach with a hammock on the rock wall. Down 91 steps but easily worth it for a beautiful secluded beach with a nice patio style restaurant.
Complete slice of paradise. One of the best days in St Lucia. We booked for 1.30pm lunch.
Parking is available on the road, and then it's 91 steps down to the beach front restaurant which is secluded, calm, and serene.
The cocktails and food were some of the best we had in St Lucia. Particularly the Pina Coladas. Price is on the expensive side, but worth it.
By eating at the restaurant, you can use the double bed sun loungers attached to the restaurant, giving you a sheltered, comfortable location to rest, with amazing views across the bay and easy access to the bar & beach.
The sea was warm, clear and calm, with a couple of loungers out on the water for you to bathe on. Lots of tropical fish and crabs to see. The beach was clean, with perfect white sand, quiet and spacious, you feel like you're on a private beach, away from the noise and crowds. There's a shower available and bathroom facilities.
Payment is cash or card. Remember you'll need to climb 91 steps back up to your car! Best day & best beach in St Lucia.

Day 2
Northwest side of town
For day 2, we recommend exploring the northwest side side of town. Start the day off with Rodney Bay Marina, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Saint Lucia National Trust. All together, your day would be filled with about 7 hours of non-stop fun.

Marina
Nature & Parks
Rodney Bay Marina is a well-maintained and secure marina with a distinctly American feel. It offers a range of amenities including restaurants, a mini mart, and even yoga sessions by the pool. The marina is conveniently located near the Rodney Bay Strip and Pigeon Island National Park, providing easy access to nature, beaches, and hiking opportunities. Visitors can enjoy spacious living areas in villas nearby, making it an ideal destination for group getaways.
Great place to visit, especially if you’re a fan of life on the water. Many restaurants along the promenade, including Seasalt Cafe. You’ll meet friendly locals and sailors who are always happy to chat. Take in the astonishing views from morning to evening. Not your average marina, no foul smells and always a soft breeze, allowing you to truly enjoy your time.

Great place to chill. There are a lot of different restaurants to chose from and the price is good
Loved it. Went in a Sunset cruise. Really enjoyed it. They picked us up at our hotel and brought us to the boat. Food and drinks were good. Staff very pleasant and attentive.
Good Marina Facilities and great bars and restaurants, even for children.
Lovely ambience with a variety of options but no local food. If you want British, American, Japanese, Thai or Spanish food, you're set, though. Provides for yatchies with amenities like boat-repair, a bank, vacation clothing stores, a mini-mart, and showers for yatch clients. However, the quality of amenities and services could be improved.
All restaurants take last order around 9:30 to close by 10pm.
Love it here good place to visit for dinner and of course ice cream. Beautiful views
My company's is based out of the Marina, so of course it's a great place, for food, shopping, sunset cruises, boat tours and yours truly St. Lucia Paradise Transfers
This is a safe and well maintained marina that feels very American with some water-front properties on one side. There are security guards at every entry point and stay there 24/7. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, including a sushi place. There is a mini mart with some provisions but it is rather expensive. Both customs and marina office are located upstairs.
WiFi is good and free, bathrooms are ok but the floor is very slippery when wet and there was no hot water when we stayed there. Water at the dock is expensive and there is a 100g minimum. We used almost 200 gallons and paid over 30 US dollars for it.

Beach
Nature & Parks
Reduit Beach is a vibrant and bustling spot with a narrow stretch of sand, offering various water sports and chair rentals. It's conveniently located near Rodney Bay, lined with hotels like Bay Gardens Beach Resort & Spa and Mystique St. Lucia by Royalton. The beach provides calm waters for swimming and is perfect for families with small children. Visitors can also enjoy the option of renting gear for water activities or simply relaxing while sipping on refreshing cocktails from the numerous nearby bars.
The water is warm and it’s beautiful here. It’s about 10USD to rent chairs, but the guys renting them called us names when we chose not to. People do come up often trying to sell stuff. A great variety of restaurants nearby, especially spinamakers. The splash pad down the beach is also incredibly fun! Definitely a good visit.

Very nice beach the waters are warm and the sand is clean. lots of sunbeds and the views are very good. watch out for the lucky lucky men lots of them selling items and it is a little of putting when you are trying to relax. really enjoyed our time here and we did use the local bars for drinks.
What a beautiful beach! Long stretch of sand that you can walk down or spend time sitting in the Caribbean sun (around 7-10 USD). There are opportunities for water sport activities and there is a bar / restaurant right on the beach if you need to cool off or fuel up!
Spinnakers sits to the right of this entrance. It's about 7-10usd to rent chairs/daybeds. The water is beautiful and clear. Safe beach. Water is calm and cool. Plenty parking. Bring a cooler and enjoy. One of the best sunsets Ive ever seen!
Reduit Beach in Saint Lucia is a stunning stretch of golden sand with calm, clear waters, perfect for swimming and relaxing. With beautiful views of Pigeon Island and a lively yet laid-back atmosphere, it’s one of the island’s best beaches. Nearby restaurants and bars make it easy to enjoy a full day by the sea. It can get busy, especially on cruise ship days, but the scenery and warm Caribbean waters make it well worth a visit.
Great watersports offers (ring (USD 15pp), jetski (ECD 200), a waterpark (USD15pp ph), chairs are USD10 BUT! the vendors are incredibly agressive and a simple "no thank you" is not enough, so it's very uncomfortable. The swimming area is also very small.
Reduit Beach is a great beach. The water was clean and calm, and we were able to rent chairs and umbrellas. They had people who would come right up to the beach to take food and drink orders, so we didn’t even have to leave the sand.
Visited this beach in August multiple times. It’s very clean, the water is always a great temperature, and it has a undefeated view of the sunset and island. There are plenty of paid activities to book. It’s in a great location, and easily accessible from the Rodney Bay strip. There’s plenty of parking, yet it’s never overcrowded. The salesmen on the beach frequent often to rent chairs/umbrellas, sell bracelets, food, and drinks. They’re respectful and will move on if you tell them you’re not interested. It’s easy to spend an entire day here and not get bored. Perfect for any kind of crowd: couples, families, etc. The best part is the sunset. Even when the sun goes down you’ll find it’s still quite lively with local fishers and dining tourists.

Daren Sammy Cricket Ground, formerly known as Beausejour, is a popular venue located on Beausejour Rd in Gros Islet. It serves as the home ground for the Windward Islands team and the St Lucia Kings in the Caribbean Premier League. With a seating capacity of 13,000, this stadium was opened in 2002 and renamed after Windies captain Daren Sammy in 2016.
Awesome experience - super friendly staff. Went to watch a West Indies Championship match. Free to enter - just walk in. Amazing. Would love to come back for a T20!

The Daren Sammy Cricket Ground, was previously known as the Beausejour Cricket Ground, It’s near Gros Islet, Saint Lucia. It’s the home ground for the domestic team, Windward Islands and for the St Lucia franchise in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
The stadium has been named after former West Indies cricket team captain, Daren Sammy, who led his team to glory in two T20 World Cups, in 2012 and 2016.
This cricket ground has a seating capacity of about 13000 and is quite spacious and has a decent cool breeze blowing across the spectator stands in the afternoon but special attention is needed in choosing your seat to avoid being in direct sun all day. Drinks are also reasonably priced at this venue.
Can't get more sport local than this place. We went to an unofficial match between South African next up guys vs. West Indies next up guys. The teams and ground crew were there. Gate was open and attendance was my father and I. Thought him some cricket and enjoyed the morning session of a test match. It is Caribbean, it is local. Throw your first world stadium expectations out and enjoy where you are at the Darren Sammy!
Attended a cpl game. It was a total party atmosphere . St Lucia Kings an the Antigua Barbuda falcons were involved in a high scoring game. Given that it was a day game, fans without the shelter in the Johnson Charles were subject to the elements. Not many vegetarian options in the concession stands and few vendors ready to accept credit cards. Parking was easy.
All said, great place to spend a few hours with family and friends.
This ground has been refurbished and looks pretty good. Good spectator wifi available. Shame there are not more vegetarian food options available (none apart from crisps).
Very easy to access. Good seats and viewability from anywhere on the ground.
We did not use the bathroom so cannot comment on that.
Food was a big miss. Not much to choose from.
The best grounds for cricket and vibes! Cricket is definitely played louder.
The grounds are transformed to a party house during any sporting event. The perfect location to be hyped and have fun with friends whilst enjoying a game. Close proximity to bus route, neat, seats are a bit uncomfortable when sitted for too long, sufficient toilet facilities, equipped with vemdors booth and very spacious.

Friday Night Street Party
4.5
(274)
Experience the lively and vibrant atmosphere of St. Lucia at the Gros Islet Friday Night Street Party, a beloved tradition that has been a staple of the island's nightlife for over 50 years. Every Friday, locals and tourists alike gather in Gros Islet to enjoy Caribbean music ranging from calypso to reggae, soca, and zouk while indulging in ice-cold Piton beers and rum punch.
Amazing street party. There was a great atmosphere, nice music, stalls with drinks and local food. Everyone seemed to be happy and enjoying the party. We arrived early for dinner and stayed for the party. We were advised by a local to leave the car at Gros islet beach, to avoid the bad traffic on the small roads on our way home.
Highly recommended

From the moment you arrive, you’re surrounded with vibrant energy and there’s something for everyone. Plenty of food and drink stalls, local souvenirs, and nonstop music. It’s the kind of place where locals and tourists mix effortlessly, sharing the vibes.
Whether you’re there to dance, eat, or just soak it all in, it’s a great way to experience the spirit and culture of the island.
Through Wandering Eyes • Sidra
If you want to see the true St. Lucian culture then the party is a must visit! The street party happens every single Friday except Good Friday and it starts from after work to about 3 am. Although people start coming after work, it gets busier around 8-9 pm.
It's on one main street in Gros Islet and it's just a vibe. There's a DJ and people dancing in one main area. Surrounding that are tents/bars to buy drinks, souveneirs, and local food as well.
We are not big party people but were so glad we checked it out because it gives a look into the local life and culture. I wouldn't recommend it for people who don't like big crowds and loud music. Or for anyone uncomfortable with alcohol and smoking.
We went end of September so it wasn't as packed. There were a lot more locals than tourists and we were able to walk in and out of the crowds fairly easily. We also found parking just a couple mins away but there are other ways to get there. Either by bus or some hotels offer rides to and from the party.
It was so much fun! Lots of nice folks and great music. Plus the drinks were drinking! Good food near by as well.
If I were to sum it up: Gros Islet Friday Night Street Party is a must-do for many visitors to Saint Lucia who enjoy nightlife, good food, real local culture, dancing, and socializing. It isn’t polished or upscale, but that’s part of its charm. For some, especially those seeking quiet or luxury, it might feel chaotic. But that’s also what makes it memorable.
I had a blast. Lots of drinks, food, BBQ, dancing, and cool things to buy. I absolutely loved attending this event. You get to hang out with the locals and support their businesses.
We got here early and was able to try the food, had a few drinks and purchased some souvenirs. It was very live, the music was for everyone and the vibe was great.
The Friday night street party is just okay. If you've been to Beale Street in Memphis, TN, or Burbon Street in New Orleans, or Broadway St. in Nashville, TN, this Street Party doesn't live up to the hype.

Saint Lucia National Trust is an organization focused on preserving the natural and cultural heritage of the island. It offers visitors the opportunity to learn about local conservation efforts and contribute through volunteer work or donations. The trust oversees Pigeon Island National Park, a northern gem featuring 18th-century Fort Rodney, military remnants, and stunning views of Martinique from Signal Hill.
Nice hike $10 each. Great beach also so bring/ wear your suit. Right next to sandals you can park right at the gate entrance if you come early like 10 am is perfect we walked around and saw the old structures and peaks for about an hour and a half and we’re ready to sit and relax on the beach. Plenty of bathrooms as well which was nice for a beach
Kate S — Google review
Worth a visit if you are in the northern part of the island! Costs $10 to enter which will allow you to learn about the history of Fort Rodney and enjoy walking around the national park. There are great views to be had by following one of the well marked trails available.
If you are visiting northern tip of St. Lucia then do visit this amazing place to hike to ;
1) fort Rodney - lit of history
2) Signal peak - to see the 360 degree view of the surroundings: Carribbean sea, Atlantic ocean separated by pigeon island causeway
And
3) Enjoy a swim in the pristine water of the beach inside the national park
Wow. Only $10 to get in. Nice piece of history with shaded walking trails. Lots of restrooms. Definitely walk the hike up to Fort Rodney. One of the best views on the island. This place is way more enjoyable than the hot, crowded beach outside the park.
Beautifully preserved park with very interesting history. We enjoyed spending the day here and had a blast exploring and chilling on the beach. Staff were super nice, entrance is very affordable, chair rentals are dirt cheap. Got to meet the “hustler” (unfortunately refused to sell his “everyday I am hustling shirt”) selling booze from his boat, he might want to update his music album but overall not bad, nice guy all things considered…. Got semi loaded on his questionable mixing skills and found (I think, could’ve been a dream) a golden ring snorkelling. Can’t ask for much more from this life.
I love this totally unspoilt, non-commercial part of the island. The views are outstanding. We paid our $10 to enter the national park and stayed there most of the day. We walked up to both peaks, read all the historical notes, sat in the park and spent time on the 'private' beach. It is a bit of a climb but doable for most able-bodied people, I'd say. Beautiful, uncrowded and peaceful.
I drove my rental car, which was about a 10 min drive from our hotel near Reduit Beach. It was $10 US per adult. We walk the grounds, went to the top of the fort, which is a nice hike. Then we spent the day at the beach inside the park. The water is calm and so clear! It was a nice visit! I am glad I didn’t book a tour. Not sure there’s enough to do for a tour.
Incredible views of Rodney Bay with informative displays along trails. I was getting married the following day and hiking everything quickly during fiancé’s hair appointment. There are steep stair and rocky sections near the fort and at the signal peak. It would be challenging for anyone unfamiliar with that type of trail. I was particularly amazed by the wide variety of plant life and spectacular blooms on that June afternoon. I highly recommend.

Japanese restaurant
Nestled in the vibrant Rodney Bay Marina, Rituals Sushi is a must-visit for sushi enthusiasts exploring St. Lucia. This charming eatery showcases the culinary talents of skilled Japanese chefs who craft an impressive array of dishes, including fresh sashimi, delectable ceviche, and unique tempura bites—yes, even ice cream! The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it perfect for a casual lunch or a cozy dinner.
We had a few reservations about trying Rituals Sushi after reading some mixed reviews, but since we were staying at the Harbour Club Hotel, all the staff there insisted we give it a go — and we're so glad we did!
The sushi was absolutely incredible. We ended up visiting twice during our stay in St. Lucia because we loved it that much. Highly recommend the Summer Roll, Pacman, King Kong Roll, and the Majestic Piton — each one was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented!
If you go, definitely sit at the sushi bar for the full experience. Big shout-out to Chef Shaun for his amazing skill!
Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting the area!

First time dining here, and visiting the Marina. Food and service did not disappoint.
Every time I take a table I'm humming the tune to Cheers. Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name! I love Rituals so much it's a family joke. The sushi is fantastic and very consistent. My favorite rolls are Ambassador and Crazy Alaskan. I especially love how the staff treats my kids - extremely kind and professional, like when sushi was flying because they were learning to use chopsticks. As a business owner it's also been an easy option for casual meetings and networking gatherings. Really I just look for excuses to go there.
I have never ever had sushi as good as this.
Chef June(sorry if I spelled that wrong) is incredible. I encouraged him to come to Kitchener, Ontario where we are from🤣. I definitely did not think sushi would be on my list of things to try in St. Lucia but it's absolutely incredible.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food options. I ordered Surf and Turf, my family ordered Sushi. They loved it! My server was very forgetful however she was super friendly!
I was very disappointed with the poor customer service.Went in for a birthday dinner, the servers made us feel very invisible and many passed our tables without bothering to ask if we were being taken care of.We literally had to try to flag down every waitress before we were presented with the menus.After ordering we waited for quite some time before having to flag down another waitress to find out what was going on with our order.She returned and just plopped the trays on our table with trying to find out who ordered what. Everything was cold which meant our order had been ready but no one found it necessary to bring it to our table. Beyond disappointed with this experience. It's understandable that a business place can be busy however customer service is also an integral part of how well your dining experience can be and I found myself underwhelmed and with a loss of appetite. We probably wouldn't have an issue with the wait if someone had just shown a little courtesy.Worst birthday experience ever.
This is a resturant after my own heart. Would consider it a regular location since I love sushi. From being a first timer to a regular. The sushi is that great and it only get better with your selection. The atmosphere is great especially since it overlooks the harbour while you wait on your meals. The customer service is more than satisfactory as they assist you in choosing especially for first timers. The drinks are exceptional and creative in presentation. Definitely try out the "Sex on the beach" if you're looking for a buzz.
Cool, dine and chill vibes with great service!

Nestled in the charming fishing village of Gros-Islet, Golden Apple Restaurant is a delightful spot that captures the essence of St. Lucian cuisine. Just a short stroll from the beach, this cozy eatery welcomes guests with its inviting atmosphere and friendly service. While it may not boast an expansive interior, large open doors allow for refreshing sea breezes to enhance your dining experience.
Seems like a local fav with lots of locals doing takeaways.
Food is fab! Grilled lambi / conch is fresh & tasty along with the grilled dorado 😃
Serve time is very slow though.. about 30 mins wait. We were ok with it as we weren’t starving 😆 worth the wait as the food was excellent!

We arrived after a long day of travel and happened upon this lovely place on our evening walk to find food. The chef offered us many options to make a lasting meal for us. We don’t eat meat but the fish was out of this world. She grilled it perfectly accompanied on the large plate a tasty pasta salad, a side salad, warm soothing lentils, plantains and a bed of rice. We shared & left very satisfied. Priced accordingly and still not hurting wallet too bad with the exchange rate. 4 beers later and we were on our way to sleep off the long day. Thank you for hospitality, we will return. Cheers 🙏🌻
An authentic local food restaurant.
Very tasty food and good value for money.
We came for drinks one night, the owner was very nice. We ended up rum tasting. Next day we came for dinner after beach and it was really good. It’s a local restaurant, they do cocktails as well, very reasonably priced.
Nice place with good food and atmosphere. We liked grilled tuna a lot! Other dishes are were also nice
Most of places around are cheaper and offer very similar food, but atmosphere here is better. This place works on Sundays which is a great plus.
Food was delicious, i had snapper, very yummy. It was friday fish fiesta in Gros Islet, so was very busy but great atmosphere. Service was great through dinner service just too busy at the bar. I would defo go and eat there again to try something different. The restaurant and toilets were very clean.
Been visiting Golden Taste for years and everything from the quality of food to the friendly staff and the prompt service has been consistently good that I choose not to dine anywhere else in Gros Islet. The takeaway is also exceptional. Call an hour in advance for lunch and pick up at midday. Regrettably the ownership recently changed, but the same back and front of house personnel remain. They are what Golden Taste is all about. It's a pleasure to eat in almost a 'family' style environment. Oh and do indulge in a cocktail or local rum punch. Highly recommended. Oh and please tip generously.
1st time visiting in 2020...
Great authentic island food. Tastiest white sweet potatoes I've ever had. I had the garlic shrimp and my fiance had the curry goat. My shrimp were plump and perfectly cooked. His curry goat was tasty and had his nose running. You get plenty of food for your money as well. A full plate with rice, salad, vegetables, and your food of choice. Definitely recommend checking it out.
2nd time visiting in 4/2023...
Food still very tasty! They were out of garlic shrimp so I had the grilled lambi and it did not disappoint. Fiance had the grilled Dorado and grilled lambi. We were both very happy with our selections.
Enjoy!!!

Best meal we had on the island! Tried DM'ing on Instagram for a reservation and didn't get a response so we took the risk of driving over. Was seated within 15 minutes and was able to order drinks at the bar while we waited.
Extensive menu and food was delicious! Servers were attentive and very kind. We had the butter chicken, chana masala, chicken biryani, garlic cheese naan, and samosas and everything tasted authentic and as expected, only wish it was a little spicier. You will not be disappointed, would definitely return.
Well Nancy was amazing service with a smile helped us with food choices. Majority of us ordered the red snapper thing it world be a great size snapper for the price but unfortunately it was to small and they charge the same price.
Indian food was great! We ordered a cocktail with our lamb vindaloo, mushroom rice, garlic naan and vegetable korma. The vindaloo was spicy but a normal hot level similar to something from home. All the dishes were very good and the service was friendly and the food arrived quickly. I would say it was a little pricey and rice wasn’t included in any of the entrees, everything was basically a la carte. We made a reservation but ate early enough that it didn’t really matter anyway. Would definitely recommend because it was close to where we were staying. The food was all very well prepared.
Was on a holiday with a friend and we were craving some spicy food so decided to give this Indian place a go having read some of their reviews and given the good rating.
It's super empty on a Wednesday night in December during the touristy season so I was surprised but then it also meant the atmosphere was quiet and nice. We ordered some poppadoms to star which were pleasant. We had 4 sauces to accompany them and we both particularly liked the tamarind sauce a lot. Then we went with butter chicken and South Indian seafood curry as mains to share, one garlic and one garlic cheese naan on the side. I also went for a fruit punch which was so refreshing and massive. The seafood curry was very disappointing honestly. On the menu it says it's spicy but I literally couldn't taste any spice in it, and the portion of seafood was horribly little, not good value for money at all. Butter chicken was alright, portion of meat was good but the sauce just didn't taste as savoury as the butter chicken you usually get in London. Garlic cheese naan was the absolute highlight of the meal, so fluffy, cheesy and buttery. It went so well with the butter chicken. Garlic naan was good too but I just personally prefer thicker and fluffy bread so cheese naan was the winner for me.
Service was great, really attentive and friendly staff. Vibe was chill and good for all kinds of occasions.
The best Indian Food in St. Lucia. Great customer service. She greeted me very happy. Catered to my order to eat in and also take out afterward. Love the music playing. Great seating. Curry Shrimp was excellent and not over spice. Naan was so large....good food portion of rice and shrimp. I recommend everyone to come and try this restaurant if in Gros Islet or Rodney Bay. Thank my host for making a long tour day so comfortable.
A wonderful place in all ways possible. The food was fantastic, everyone was as nice as could be, and thank you to Nancy (with glasses) for answering all of our questions and making very helpful recommendations.
Bring friends so you can try more dishes!
We were extremely disappointed with our experience at Razzmataz. Both my wife and I have eaten Indian food in many countries, and what we were served here simply didn’t come close to authentic — especially given the high prices.
The naan was unlike anything we’ve ever seen: thick, doughy, and more like pizza crust than traditional naan. The Peshawari naan was especially disappointing — not sweet at all, and simply topped with a bit of coconut. It lacked the raisins, nuts, and balance of flavor you’d expect.
We also ordered paneer, which was completely bland and unseasoned — a basic expectation for any Indian dish.
When I politely raised the issue about the naan with the waitress, she responded condescendingly, claiming we didn’t understand Indian food and that this is how it’s supposed to be — because “many Indian people live in Saint Lucia and never complain.” And also noted that the cheff was indian. This felt dismissive and frankly dishonest, especially after seeing similar complaints in other reviews.
We were hoping for a quality Indian meal and left feeling overcharged and disappointed. Would not return.

The Thirsty Parrot is a popular spot in St Lucia, known for its great food and drinks. The friendly staff and good vibes make it a favorite hangout. The chicken sandwich, rice with choice of meat, and coconut curry sauce are highly recommended. Visitors can also enjoy fresh and yummy tacos after hiking Pigeon Island. While the service may be lacking at times, the wonderful balcony facing the water makes for a relaxing drink and great food experience.
Lovely food and atmosphere. Everything is relaxed, you’re on island time so don’t be annoyed if you need to wait a little. Highly recommend the place!

Chill spot to grab food by the beach in Pigeon Island. The serving size is generous and we had their fish platter which was reasonably priced.
Really great location right on the beach. Food was delicious at a great price but service was subpar. The host that seated us wasn’t the friendliest and almost brushed off the other person in my party when she asked for a recommendation on the menu. Otherwise, a good spot for some quick food.
Can't miss - the perfect place for local food! Quiet atmosphere, very friendly staff, great prices (no extra taxes or service fees), generous portions and amazing food. Had dinner here twice, and would have kept going back if our stay had been longer.
Great local spot with good views and service. The food was great and good pricing. We loved our meal here.
Food was just ok, great location right on the beach.
A minute walk from Pigeon Island entrance and right by the beach location couldn't have been better. We were here on Saturday afternoon and it was not busy, plenty of parking on the beach. We had fish in garlic sauce and fish in butter herb sauce. Both delicious. The sides were delightful. Rice spiced just right. Definitely would recommend.
We went for dinner and it was an Uneasy unwelcoming atmosphere for us it felt like we were forgotten. it took 30 minutes after being seated for someone to attend to our table and it was not crowded . our drinks order was all mixed up and the food is not worth the price.the service is unpleasant and the friendliness is selective depending on your social class. The overall positive is that it's located on a beautiful beach .

Fort Rodney, located within the Pigeon Island National Park in Saint Lucia, is a historic hilltop fort with ancient cannons and war artifacts. The site offers a 360-degree view of the island and ocean, providing stunning photo opportunities. Once a hideout for pirates and later a military fort, it now stands as a national landmark preserving its original cannons and ruins. Visitors can explore the park's hiking trails and relax on its gorgeous beaches while taking in the panoramic views from Fort Rodney.
Easy hike from park entrance to Fort Rodney.
Reasons to visit:
1) Majestic view of the bay
2) Wonderful historical facts about the place

360 degrees beautiful view. Short hike to the top to the fort. Breathtaking views on the way as well. Worth stopping by. To enter the park you have to pay $10 per person.
It's a wonderful 360° view from the top of the fort. It was quite windy and cloudy when we visited, but still got a very nice view. It's just a small hike from the entrance of the park.
Highly recommended
Nice morning hike with great views of the bay and Caribbean Sea. Moderately difficult as hikes go to get to highest point. Great way to spend an hour or two.
Great views, interesting history, and nice hiking. IF you are in the area this is worth a visit and ever better if you are staying at the Royalton there is a trail to get there.
A great quiet park and small hike around. The beaches have limited people and were very quiet. A great visit when on the island!
By following one of the trails you can reach Fort Rodney right at the end of the island which provides you with great views of the nearby coastline. There is some information at the top provided which can tell you all about the use of the fort.
Great easy hikes with lots of island history. Fantastic views of the surrounding area once you get up to some of the higher elevations. The trails are all fairly easy, but there are some steep rocky sections and one set of ladder steps which may pose a problem for those with mobility issues

Island
Pigeon Island, a 44-acre islet in the northern regions of Saint Lucia, is a historically significant attraction with ruins of military buildings and bunkers from battles between the British and French during the 18th century. Connected to the mainland via a causeway, it features hiking trails through lush forests, wide green spaces, beaches, and two peaks for trekking. The island also offers opportunities to learn about cocoa harvesting at a nearby plantation owned by a British chocolatier brand.
Great area for a quick hike if you’re staying nearby. Or spend the day and enjoy the private beaches.

This was a little bit underwhelming and a bit of a money grab. Firstly the trails are very difficult to navigate if it's raining, so take your time. The views at the top are probably better when it's clear. The view of the harbor is nice. Plenty of parking next to the public beach area.
The thing that rubbed me wrong was the entrance fee allowed us access to the park, but did not let us use the chaise chairs on the beach. You needed to pay another fee to use the chairs...very strange. Instead, why not just add a little more to the entry fee and not charge for chairs. Seemed very silly and the guy that told us was rude about it.
I mean it's a chair and there is 50 of them and not a single person is using them. It just seemed a little short sighted and underwhelming. The beach was fine, however the sediment in the harbor makes it very low visibility for snorkeling.
Based on the many places we visited during our trip to St. Lucia this by far was the easiest place we could have skipped.
Worth the $10. Two beaches; one is Caribbean Sea and the other is Atlantic Ocean. BEST SHELLS on entire island on the Atlantic side. Be careful; the tide is rough and the rocks are vast. Beautiful adventures in the ruins. There is a secret chamber inside the top look out; go down the stairs!
Wonderful park with 2 beach options.
Enjoy the view and history of Fort Rodney and Signal Peak. Small admission fee to enter
A beautiful park/historical landmark. There is an easy hike to Fort Rodney. There are two overlock spots nearest the entrance. They are a power and upper level. Walk the stairs to the peak and you will not regret it. The view is magnificent!!!! It's 10usd for non residents. They take case only. Then go to the beach next door.
This is an amazing place to visit. If you love a bit of hiking, history and the beaches, this is your to go place
Pigeon Island is one of St. Lucia’s highlights. It offers a mix of history, natural beauty, and beach time, which makes it appealing to many types of travellers: families, couples, solo explorers. It’s not perfect (some crowding, service can be patchy, snorkeling is modest), but on balance it gives excellent value and memorable experiences.
This was our 3rd visit to St Lucia via a cruise. We have always done islands tours in the past. This time I really wanted to get to Pigeon Island park. We made a big adventure out of it. We took the city bus from town and then walked from the bus stop to the park. Such a pretty walk.
Pigeon park was beautiful. The hike to the top was a little steep, we made the mistake of going up a goat trail rather than the main trail up, but so worth the climb. The views were incredible.
When we came back down we ate a picnic lunch and enjoyed floating/swimming before heading back to the ship port. Great day!!

Pigeon Island Causeway is an artificial connection between the mainland island and Pigeon Island, offering a unique way to access this beautiful destination without needing a boat or swimming. The causeway has also expanded the coastline, creating additional beach space along the Caribbean Sea. Visitors can enjoy activities like ziplining, rope courses, and climbing walls at the nearby Saint Lucia Treetop Adventure Park.
See the power of the Atlantic Ocean and it crashes against the rocks! Very cool to see! No sidewalks to get here from Rodney Bay, so be careful walking the road on the way there, or take a taxi. There is also a taxi stand at the end of the road to help you get back
Andrew F — Google review
Great place to relax and be in touch with nature especially the steady breeze and splashing waves from the Atlantic Ocean. This place is an artificially created connection between the "mainland" island and pigeon island. Now we don't have do boat or swim we drive but the additional coastline created is awesome, additional beach space was also created on the other side (Caribbean Sea) but most of it is now occupied by hotels/resorts.
WoW amazing beautiful epic.
Great place to visit. Was not too busy when visited so could enjoy some of the areas without others around. Found a beach with no one else there- soaked up the peace and quite
It's always good to watch the sunset from the beach.
Catching a sunset on any regular day 😜
(Translated by Google) The view of the sea is magnificent, a site on the coast, very airy location, I recommend.
A good spot for photos

St Lucia Sea Trek Adventure at Pigeon Island

SCUBA tour agency
The scuba tour agency St Lucia Sea Trek Adventure at Pigeon Island offers an exceptional and thrilling underwater experience. There is no need to be afraid as the attentive divers guide you through every step of the journey. Prior diving experience is not necessary, and the magnificent underwater sights are truly breathtaking. You have the opportunity to witness sea creatures making their homes in modern equipment while also learning about the history of Pigeon Island.
Best adventure of our trip. Even if you are not a water person, like my wife, you will enjoy doing this. Levi and his teams' professional demeanor and island humor are an excellent mix to reassure you. After we got in the water, we could not stop smiling from ear to ear. Will definitely do this again.
Corey B — Google review
This review is a little late. But I did the heavy helmet dive about 2 weeks ago and I really enjoyed it. The Sea Trek Adventure team was very friendly and helpful.
Amazing experience. No need to fear the journey, divers were attentive to us each step of the way. You do not need to have experience with diving. And the underwater sights were gorgeous, you get to see the sea creatures make a home in some modern day equipment as well as learn a little history of the pigeon island .😁 Definitely a must do at least once type of activity. 🙌
Cruise in December 2024, was an awlful experience..started off okay until water was so cloudy could see nothing. Half way through 20 foot under my helmet lost oxygen...breathing my own carbon dioxide, helmet mask fogged up guide had to hook his emergency tank up to me to get me out. I was looking so forward to this excursion for my birthday. The sad thing is find out that prior to us going out, other cruise ship customers had same thing happen to them, so they knew helmet had issue and should have been placed out and not to be used until repaired.
I would definitely recommend the Sea Trek at Pigeon Island. It is right next to the Grande resort. We were a little anxious about being so far below the water but the guides were incredible and we loved it. There's no guarantee of what animals you'll see but it was a very cool and unique experience.
10/10 T'was an amazing experience. Both my wife and I made wonderful memories for our anniversary! Big up to our tour guide, Levi, for his attentiveness and professionalism!
We went on the undersea excursion and it was fantastic! The whole thing was well planned by our guides who kept us safe and were able to point out some amazing things underwater like a table complete with drinks, a couple (yes 2!) Cars and so much more! Would absolutely recommend this activity when you are staying at a Sandals in St Lucia 🇱🇨
Absolutely amazing underwater adventure. For anyone who can't swim but would love to experience the beautiful sites and fishes under water, this is a must try. You will have a fantastic time. Coco and staff are experience divers/ swimmers who provide the safest experience possible.. Very friendly staff who make the experience more enjoyable.

Bay
Nature & Parks
Neighborhoods
Bodies of Water
Rodney Bay is a picturesque destination located in the north-west of St. Lucia, featuring a large bay with a beautiful white-sand beach and a bustling marina with yacht docks. Visitors can enjoy leisurely sails and explore nearby islands while using Rodney Bay as their base. The area offers upscale restaurants, glossy duty-free shops, and a water park for entertainment.
If you have watched Below Deck you have already been here without realizing it. Those sparkling shots of the marina are Rodney Bay with Captain Glenn sliding the boat in like he is docking a spaceship, gold shipwreck coin necklace catching the sun like a Caribbean pirate who traded his cutlass for Ray-Bans.
Walk the docks and you will spot yachts that look like they cost more than small countries. Some of them have actually been on the show. The real trick is you can do Rodney Bay without the TV budget. Here is how
Morning: Coffee and pastries at Café Olé in the marina while crews do their morning rinse downs like a choreographed dance.
Afternoon: Hop on a catamaran tour. Pick the one with the happiest bartender. They will take you up the coast to Pigeon Island and maybe drop anchor for a swim in water so clear it looks fake.
Evening: Seafood at Spinnakers on the beach. Try the tuna and ignore the tourist prices because the view is worth it.
Late night: Gros Islet Friday street party with local rum, grilled fish, and music that rattles your bones. This is where Below Deck would fade to black because what happens here does not make it past the editing room.
Rodney Bay is the kind of place where you can sip champagne with the yacht crowd or drink Piton beer on the sand and feel just as rich. If you see Captain Glenn tell him the necklace still works and it is part of the scenery now.

We enjoyed our time up at Rodney Bay. We were lucky to have our house right on the water and these were some of our views. Nice marina, didn't seem to have a lot of crazy traffic. Did the Friday night street party which was a lot of fun and great that there are water taxis available to get you to and from. Better than tipsy driving. We enjoyed the Rodney Bay area the most while visiting the island.
Great beach. Lovely sea but can become overcrowded especially when cruise ships are in.
Beach traders are a little too persistent for my liking. Bed and parasol can be expensive.
Beautiful soft white sand, clear blue waters, and lush green surroundings. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to swim, snorkel, or just relax and enjoy the sun
Busy spot but lots to see and a very good selection if restaurants and hotels nearby. Probably one of the safer areas for cruisers in St. Lucia and more options with the marina present. Nice wind protected bay. Lively spot.
Beautiful people and epic scenery. We traveled around so all of these pictures are not Rodney Bay.
Rodney Bay itself is a lovely little town. make sure to visit the Rivers of life restaurant.
The pitons are a must see!
Rodney Bay is hub for malls, 5 star hotels, residential, restaurants, bars, duty free shopping, medical and dental offices, fast food, ice cream shop, yacht club, beach, water sports and entertainment.
We spent several days in and around Rodney Bay. We thoroughly loved the area. We are going back in December. Dont miss Fot Rodney and Pigeon Island. Spinnakers Resterant at Reduit Beach.

A beautiful church in Rodney Bay. You get a natural airy feeling here, take a deep breath and enjoy the presence. A few patrons were there, including a caretaker. Everyone respected your space. You feel serene, soothing in this simple but authentic beautiful church.

My wife, Angela, and I had the most wonderful worship experience this morning at St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church in St. Lucia!👍🏾👍🏾. Msgr. Michel Francis gave a great 30 minute sermon about the 1st and 2nd readings and of course the Gospel…without a single written note!👋🏾 The children’s Choir sung beautifully 🎶🎶. We also noticed how well dressed all children at mass were especially the little girls who all had on pretty dresses (we don’t see that in the US every Sunday🤣). Thanks to everyone at SJW who made our worship so special. God bless you all!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.
Beautiful. The members were dressed in their finest, the musicians and choir well rehearsed, and the church was fully decorated to welcome the Archbishop for Confirmation. It was a nice snapshot of this community.
Lovely, friendly place, great service with wonderful singing and all people seem so welcoming
Beautiful old school church, we stopped here on a tour from a Carnival Cruise Line and it was nice to see old buildings. I'm not a religious person but the the inside of the church was even more beautiful than the outside, but out of respect didn't want to take pictures of the inside in case the locals got offended.
One of my favorite places to spend time with the Almighty. Always, clean and well kept. Very comfortable and accessible. When you walk in and you see the fresh flowers and the clean benches and floors, know it's through the hard work of the dedicated members. Thank God for his Mercies!
This is such a Wonderful Quaint Church. Had the pleasure of celebrating Easter Sunday Mass there. I was Spirit filled and pleasantly surprised. Went back to my Hotel feeling on top of the World. Beautiful Ambience.
It was easter Sunday !! The Church was filled !! The mass was an amazing one..very vibrant and appealing !! I don't attend every Sunday but there's need for improvement... thanks to those who made/makes it a success. Lives are being touch !! Amen

Restaurant
Dukes Place, located in the village of Gros Islet, is a popular spot open only on Fridays and Saturdays. The fish barbecue at this shack draws visitors from around the world, so arriving early at 6:30pm is advisable to avoid long queues. The secret to their flavorful dishes lies in the generous use of onion, butter, and garlic in their rice and fish preparations.
My first meal in St Lucia. It was amazing. Just BBQ fish & rice bit of salad and tongue tingling garlic sauce. It was great! If you are in the area Friday or/and Saturday you must try. The meal was 30ec$
Ismail A — Google review
Amazing - if you're here on a Friday, the fish BBQ is amazing. We arrived at 5:30pm and were served straight away. Some of the best fish we've ever had for about £10 a head. Incredible vibe, music, and others selling local juices to have with it as well. Go to Duke's Place!
Listen, please get there early bc the line will get long quickly. I had the fish with rice and they put some type of garlic sauce on it. Yummy! Super affordable and fresh. They also have drinks. The views are amazing--overlooking the beach. Definitely check it out and support local restaurants.
A friend and I were looking for a local place to get lunch after a long day of exploring. The grilled fish, potato salad and yellow rice with the garlic sauce was delicious. The ladies assisting with fixing the food weren't welcoming or pleasant. I was visiting and not aware of the ordering process or menu. It would've been helpful to have a viewable menu. The overall taste of the food was hot and delicious.
Duke’s was recommended to me, but to be honest I found it without realising this was the place; I was bamboozled by the huge queue of people waiting patiently. I asked a local and she said it was the best place to eat and she isn’t care about the wait. That was enough for me together with the queue. So I waited. And waited. The queue behind me continued to grow. This place doesn’t stop. When we got close to the front, we had to wait for a freshly grilled batch of barracuda to come off the grill. You can have your fish with rice or bread and salad and they offer a garlic sauce on the fish, which I was told by my family was delicious. My family ate every bit of it and plan to come back again! A must for Fish Friday visitors. Don’t worry about the queue, soak up the environment!
I have never had smoked fresh fish on this level. The green fig salad and the rice is good. The lambi is good....the service is good. Did I say a went back the next day....yeah it was just that good.
You can't go to Sainte-Lucia and miss the Friday night BBQ fish at Duke's...wow what a nice evening. The fish is just amazing and with all the bells and whistles. Don't be shy on the little sauce the add, I wish I would have asked for more on the rice and fish.
Dukes, the place to be on Friday nights. Fair drink prices, awesome Rum punch. excellent fish fry, had marlin and barracuda. Get all the fixings and sauces ! Look for the smoke for the best place in town!! (End of Dauphin and turn right)

This place is just amazing. Went for a final dinner for my bachelorette party and it exceeded my expectations. The wine waiter knowledgeable and engaging. The rest of the staff were courteous. The food was delicious. The venue was breathtaking. My only regret is I didn't get to see it during the day. Hope to be back someday.

Went here for before dinner drinks and to see the sunset and then stayed for dinner. Food was excellent, though pricey and also the portion sizes were smaller than what I would have expected.
We started with the seafood risotto which was great but had only 1 shrimp on top. I had the short ribs which were very tender and my wife had the mahi which she loved. They served a small mango sorbet palate cleanser which was amazing between courses.
Absolutely divine food!
You must go before sun goes down to fully appreciate the view.
What a beautiful location and such incredible food.
Service was best there is on the island!
Was fortunate enough to go to The Cliff at Cap to celebrate Valentines Day for dinner. It was late so we were not able to see the water, as it was dark already, but you could hear it, and it was extremely soothing. The food was a prix fixe menu for Valentines Day at $185 USD. It was very tasty. The fresh bread and butter we were started with were delicious! Then, onto our appetizers, I got the caramelized scallop in a chorizo risotto, and my fiance got the seared yellow fin tuna with parsnip chips. Then, we were given a fruity frappe as a pallete cleanser. Onto our main entrees, which I had the duck confit as it was fantastic, and he got the BBQ short rib, which he said was very tasty as well. Last but not least was dessert, and I got the chocolate experience, which was a chocolate ice cream, rich chocolate truffle, chocolate mousse, on a sliver of chocolate cake. He got the red velvet cheesecake, and it looked pretty good, too! I wanted the creme brulee, but it was already sold out. All in all, it was a great experience. The service was the best I've experienced on the island by far!!!
Went for lunch and had a great experience. Every dish was really delicious. From Mahi Mahi tostadas to Jerk fish Caesar salad or even the simple but superbly executed banana fritters, everything was very tasty. Portions are on the small size, but went home happy. Cocktails were good as well. Service was friendly and efficient and the view is a treat. Recommended!
The Cliff offers good food with a breathtaking clifftop view, especially at sunset. Book ahead to secure a table facing outward before nightfall, as when the sun goes down there is no view! The atmosphere is the main draw here, as prices are higher than nearby options. Service is friendly and attentive.
Try the seafood risotto!
Beautiful property and a great dinner overall. Loved the food and our waitress was amazing. One note if traveling with kids who are picky eaters, there wasn’t too many options. Overall though they had great time. Sunset reservation would be ideal.
The Cliff is the restaurant at Cap Maison where we stayed. Delicious food at dinner with local fish and seafood from the markets. Romantic view at sunset as well as the perfect view for breakfast to start the day.

Splash Island Water Park is a family-friendly open-water sports park located on Reduit Beach in St. Lucia. It offers a variety of inflatable water sports activities that are particularly appealing to youngsters and teens, but enjoyable for adults as well. The park features obstacle courses such as trampolines, climbing walls, slides, swings, and more. Lifeguards are present to ensure safety while visitors enjoy the various activities offered at the largest open-water sports park in the Caribbean.
Lots of fun for all. Can arrange through a trip on the cruise ship but we just got a taxi to the beach and paid when we got there. About £15 each and you get an hour
Kelly W — Google review
We (2 adults) had fun on this water park! We paid at the kiosk on the day, card is accepted.
We had to watch a safety video and life jackets are mandatory. The inflatables are German designed and well maintained. We felt very safe.
The lifeguards were really helpful at showing me how to conquer some of the more challenging sections, and one even offered to catapult us off the inflatable pillow.
You can hire a locker for a 10ECD refundable deposit which I appreciated.
I’d recommend this to kids and adults alike!
We had a great time here! We just did an hour and it was more than enough fun. There’s many different obstacles to try, and it’s so fun to jump from up high. Beautiful beach and great location too!
Super fun for me and my 2 boys. Shane and Glen helped my youngest and gave us tips the whole time.
Great experience...15USD person/hour may be a bit challenging for non swimmers or ppl not comfortable in deep water.
Me and some friends tried out the water park for our very first time last week . When we arrived we were given a lunch table and umbrella . After we were settled they quickly geared us up and gave everyone information needed to use the park our time limit etc . I had to say we really had fun adults and kids . It really is an experience for all families I would recommend anyone to this park and for sure we will be back . Shout out the life guards and staff at the beach everyone helped ensure everyone was safe and secured .
Have you ever wanted to compete on American Ninja Warrior? This is your chance! For a reasonable hourly fee you can test your athleticism in a fair amount of obstacles in the water park.
Be mindful you should have a fair amount of upper body strength and good balance to have an enjoyable time. After 45 minutes I was spent. Park had a lot of age ranges of people so I did have a short wait for a few activities. I would say the best age range would be 10-45 years old and be in really good physics strength.
And, if you drive yourself then park at Spinnakers. It’s a large free parking lot and only a 5 minute walk.
Fun, very enjoyable, kids loved it. Everyone in the park is required to wear a life vest regardless of swimming ability. Life guard is on duty when it's open, but the kids did not like the guard cause they blame her for falling back do the slide(they perception). Great value if it's included in vacation package.

Dive Saint Lucia
4.5
(75)
Dive shop
Dive Saint Lucia stands out as one of the top scuba diving centers on the island, boasting modern facilities that cater to both novice and experienced divers. Located at Harmony Marina Suites in Rodney Bay, this center features a well-stocked dive shop for gear rentals, a cutting-edge training pool, and spacious classrooms for instruction.
Went out with Scuba Steve's /Dive St.Lucia twice during my trip: one day for snorkelling and the next day (scuba) diving. Rental gear was decent and all of the crew were great. I have a fair bit of boating experience and Captain Dwight handled the swells like no other!
One thing to keep in mind when researching dive ops is this centre has two locations; my review is for the Rodney Bay location, which doesn't have a storefront and the boats are not the same as the featured pictures. The boat I was on comfortably accommodated the 10 of us plus the crew, and ⅔ of it was covered (from the sun).
I do not hesitate to recommend Scuba Steve's/DSL if in Rodney Bay, especially if Captain Dwight is at the wheel.
Adam Y — Google review
What an absolutely fabulous experience with all the crew at Dive St Lucia. A very professional team who were easy to talk to and have a continuous laugh with. Also they're health and safety is wonderful and 100% spot on.
The boat is well maintained and driven superbly by Dwight giving us a lovely view of the island from a different perspective. The dive sites are all down the west coast anything up to an hour's boat ride away.
As qualified divers we were guided by Dive master Neil who really is at the top of his game. And as a diver who is relatively good on air, I found their diving practices absolutely fantastic. As other customers got low on air, they would assend on Neil's DSMB Line being monitored the whole time by Neil ensuring they completed their safety stop on the line before ascending to the waiting boat with Dwight ready on board to assist the divers back onto the boat. And then after lunch we repeated the whole process for a second fun filled dive with loads of coral and tropical fish to be seen in every direction.
This has been one of the best diving holidays I've ever had and I don't say that lightly. I have dived in many different countries with many different companies over many years. I done 20 dives over 10 days and I'm a qualified Dive Master myself so I like to think I know what I'm talking about! Seriously can't recommend these guys enough. I'm happy to say I've met some new friends and hope the crew feel the same. I can't wait to return.
After a fabulous day diving I often visited Gloria's Roti shop at Monchy road junction bus stop. She served the best food I ate while in St Lucia so highly recommend her too.
I went for a refresher 2 yrs after certifying. Then a 2 tank dive a cpl of days later. I was squirrelly about the whole thing, as my original certification experience (elsewhere) wasn’t so hot. This was going to potentially be my last time trying.
My instructor, Kelvin, was fabulous. I was reticent about going much below 20’ on the dive, but wound up at 70+ entirely comfortable and relaxed.
Can’t wait to get back in the water
A great outfit, very professional. We only had time for 1 day of diving this week. I hadn't dived in 2 years and my teen son hadn't dived since his certification in a lake a year before, so I asked for a brief refresher course. They sent a (free) taxi to bring us to their facility in Rodney Bay. All the staff were very friendly and we had a 30 minute course in their dive training pool on site. Quality stuff, useful reminder, and helped my son with his buoyancy a lot. The kit seemed new. We took their boat out for a 1 hr ride to the Pitons, and had 2 fantastic instructor-led dives on some of the most pristine reef I have seen in the Caribbean, teeming with life. they served chicken curry with plantain between dives! Overall just a really nice, professional, well-equipped friendly operation.
We did the introductory 2x dive with my 12 year old daughter at the spot below. Excellent overall. Extra thanks to Kermit who also ran the practice session at the pool at Royalton. He was extra accommodating with challenging both my “fish” daughter and working with my less confident wife.
Had a great day diving with them in April 2018. Great service, equipment was very good and well taken care of and the dive boat was very well laid out and comfortable. Would recommend them and will dive with them again.
A very professionally run outfit with really nice staff and the best of equipment. They also offer free pick-up and drop-off from a number of hotels.
What can I say about Dive Saint Lucia? From first contact through to being dropped off at the cruise terminal, Vernessa and the rest of the team were extremely friendly and thoroughly professional. They obviously put safety first but in addition there is a relaxed atmosphere. We were picked up for our cruise ship and taken south to the beautiful seas at the foot of the Pitons. Despite challenging winds on the day, the crew found great locations and wonderful diving spots for us.
We loved diving with Dive Saint Lucia and would gladly recommend them for anyone looking to experience St Lucia's underwater paradise.

Dive Saint Lucia/Scuba Steve's Diving
4.1
(76)
SCUBA tour agency
Dive Saint Lucia, also known as Scuba Steve's Diving, offers an unforgettable underwater adventure right off the stunning Anse Chastanet beach. With its vibrant coral reefs and sea walls, this location is a paradise for snorkeling and scuba diving enthusiasts.
Did 2 dives with Steve’s at short notice (managed to escape from a conference a day early👌🏻) and Vanessa and the team were superb. Larger outfit but service was great, nice boat with loads of space and just the right level of attention and support. We dove Anse Cochon north and south, which while relatively shallow in comparison to the wall dives further south were both awesome underwater wildlife adventures! Boat ride down was about 20-30 mins but each dive was 50-60 mins so you’re not coming back with half a tank which can be frustrating! Team are lots of fun and the safety standards and briefs are some of the highest I’ve ever seen while diving. Thanks for making room for me and such a great couple of dives. If you’re up north in the island please check them out. They’re great and loads of fun!

My daughter and I scheduled a day of 2 dives with transportation from our resort. Booking prior to arrival was quick and easy. I was pleasantly surprised that this was a small bot with just one other diver booked. Equipment was in good shape ( my BCD may not have been used previously). We had 2 great dives with amazing scenery to the dive sites. Saw 3 turtles, a scorpion fish, a very large lion fish, multiple eel's, lots of coral, and many fish.
A fantastic days diving , my wife and I contacted Scuba Steve’s prior to our trip as we wanted to do a pool refresher before we went into open water as we haven’t dived in 5 years. This was completed in a pool near to the centre and got us ready for the following day.
We got to the centre ready for our days diving and all the kit was loaded onto the most awesome dive boat , massive engines that got us travelling at a good pace.
We picked up a few people from a cruise ship then onto our dive sites.
The first dive directly below the pitons , a comprehensive dive brief and all contingencies covered , buddy checks completed and then in for a fabulous drift dive. Lots of life and the temperature was amazing.
Second dive was a short ride up the coast after a drink and some snacks on our surface interval. This dive was equally amazing , we had lobster , crab , turtles , scorpion fish, it was like being in an aquarium.
The staff on the boat were excellent , no pressure , really chilled out and made for a fantastic day. A massive thanks to Adam who has been dealing with my email comms back and fourth
Had a BLAST with Scuba Steve's last week! I did three days of dives, first with Kelvin then twice with Neil, and saw SO MANY creatures--seahorses, flounders, octopi and squid; hidden frogfish and curious Moray eels; ungainly porcupinefish and tiny black boxfish; huge spiny lobster, panicky crabs and tiny golden shrimp. This was breathtaking, and that's not even mentioning St. Lucia's already beautiful and healthy reefs, where garbage was never seen and invasive lionfish were quickly dealt with. These highly skilled and experienced divemasters (also scuba instructors if you need it), led by Captain Dwight, helped me make memories of St. Lucia that guarantee that I will return with my family! Thanks for the great memories, guys! 🐠🦑⛵🐚🐙🐡🦞🐟🦐🐢🪸🌊🧜♀️
Great experience with Captain Dwight and Dive Master Neill. Safety conscious, solid dive briefing, safe entry and exits even in swells and currents. Great choice of dive sites. No hesitation to take guests to dive sites further away that were in the marine park area and had spectacular diving.
Thank you to Neill for pointing out all the wonderful wildlife (11 octopus in 3 days diving!!) and to Dwight for safe and efficient boatmanship.
Hope to dive again with Scuba Steve’s. Definitely will choose them again!
I had a good time with DSL/Scuba Steve's. Did 2 days and 4 dives with them. Captain Dwight was very friendly and helpful. The shop is located more towards the north of the island so expect to ride in the boat for a little bit to reach the more popular dive sites but the water wasnt too choppy any of the days we went out there. Would dive with them again.
Had the pleasure diving with Scuba Steve's during my short vacation in St. Lucia. Booking online and getting a few questions answered via email ahead of the trip was easy.
On the dive days, the crew was friendly, boat fast and comfortable. Dive briefings were done right with basic safety information about the boat, what to expect for the dive in question, dive buddy arrangements, when to signal low on air, etc.
I brought my own gear with DIN 1st stage and the crew facilitated 2 tanks for me.
I'd definitely dive again with them on my next stay on the island.
Dive master Niel and Captain Dwight did a fantastic job on our three days of 2-tank diving. They took us to great dive locations and catered to all our needs. We had an octopus on every dive!

Beautiful beach, Possibility of renting umbrellas and deckchairs, several typical places to eat and drink. Excellent service, nice and very clean, in a typical Caribbean environment. We trusted Kennedy who came to pick us up directly at the cruise terminal and then brought us back in perfect time.
Kennedy was very reliable and professional, really recommended.

Amazing Beach Experience with Excellent Service!
I had an incredible time at Paradise Beach Chairs on Reduit Beach in Rodney Bay! The beach itself is absolutely stunning—soft white sand, crystal-clear water, and a truly relaxing atmosphere. What really made our visit special, though, was the outstanding service provided by Kennedy and his team, especially Greg.
From the moment we arrived, they were incredibly attentive to our needs, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable day. The cold beer was extremely refreshing, and the service was quick and friendly without being intrusive. Unlike our experience further up the beach the previous day, we weren’t bothered by any hustlers, which made for a much more peaceful and enjoyable time.
If you’re looking for a hassle-free and relaxing beach day in Rodney Bay, I highly recommend Paradise Beach Chairs. The team here truly goes above and beyond to make sure you have the best experience possible. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in St. Lucia!
We had the pleasure of meeting Kevin, also known as 'The President,' during our visit to Reduit Beach Avenue in Rodney Bay, St. Lucia, as part of our cruise trip. Kevin was an exceptional host—always kind, attentive, and embodying the warm hospitality that truly stands out in the people of St. Lucia.
He took care of us for several hours, making our family beach day an unforgettable experience. His excellent service and friendly demeanor made all the difference.
If you’re ever in St. Lucia, I highly recommend Kevin’s services. Greetings from Mexico, Kevin! I hope many more people have the chance to experience your incredible hospitality.
Yow Kennedy aka the President.....
A blessing as always, when we reach our spot on Reduit Beach!
Nuf love and respects on a positive vibes. You know you're part of D family.
Big up the man Greg, well educated dude that will tell you what's happening around the Island.
Be seeing you next year bro..🙏🏾
If you are in St Lucia, I would recommend that you definitely visit this place on Reduit beach. Greg & Kennedy are the most genuine people you would come across on the island. We visited on our 2nd last day and can defo recommend the hospitality and sincerity of service! Having been to different places and beaches where vendors asked for ridiculous amounts for a simple sun bed, Greg instantly offered us the best price and made us feel welcome! We ordered cocktails from a person on the beach who took 100 ECD from us and never returned the change.. Greg took it on him and called me down to the person and made sure I got my change back!
Upon return they even gave me a beer as a gesture of inconvenience caused by someone else!!
We were provided beach chairs and an umbrella at a reasonable price on a beautiful beach by this friendly and professional company. They reoriented our chairs/umbrella as the day went on to keep us out of the sun. They provided restaurant suggestions for lunch and kept an eye on our stuff while we went out to eat.
Really beautiful part of the beach! Beds are super comfy and Greg is super attentive - nothing was too much trouble ! Had a great day soaking up the sun and drinking beers 🍻🌴☀️
Kennedy is a fantastic host and goes above and beyond to make your stay relaxing!

Great Friday night tradition. Fish for dinner at dukes, or on the Main Street from sidewalk vendors. Great party atmosphere, safe, but be smart and aware of your surroundings.

Wonderful location next to southern Marina. Good filtered local coffee. Garden out back with great views. Home made rum cake to die for. Looking forward to the Thursday fish and chips. Host is very friendly and helpful. The enterance looks like a private residence, so don't be put off.
Love this place. Owner and staff very welcoming and made us feel at home. Definitely visit for their food, drinks and the glorious art that you can admire and buy. Fully recommend.
Excellent cafe for a coffee, pastry, or light lunch. Make sure you make a reservation for their Thursday night fish fry for a unique (and delicious!) experience.
Didn't eat there just a few wines people where lovely worth the visit 👌
Great place to eat and have cocktails. Great customer service 👍
I went to the Thursday Fish & Chips night after seeing many suggestions online. The food and service was excellent. The live entertainment, Jazz, was nothing short of FANTASTIC!!
Once in Rodney Bay, don't hesitate to make your reservation and enjoy an incredible Thursday night.
This place was an absolute gem of a find!! Nadia was such a lovely lady with a great gift for hospitality as well as beautiful art. I bought earrings and a tree bauble. Great coffee/cake and wine too!
Our 3 visits will stay in my heart forever, and would be tempted back, even with 9hrs flight time!

Mt. Pimard Trail
4.5
(30)
Permanently Closed
Hiking area
The Mt. Pimard Trail in Gros Islet, Saint Lucia is a popular attraction offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and lush green landscapes. Hiking up this picturesque mountain is a favorite activity for adventure enthusiasts, providing both a challenging workout and the opportunity to admire tropical vegetation and diverse wildlife along the way. The trail can be steep and challenging, with ropes in some sections, but the rewarding views from the top make it worth the effort.
Cool little hike. First 10min straight up an easy wide path, then 15-20min a bit narrower in the forrest and a bit steeper. Sometime ropes are offered. Especially in this climate zone it gets sweaty, but not for a long time. On the top nothing special there, but a nice view, no shade. On the way back I took a little different way, ending up in a cute little bungalow for the rest in the shade which was not available at the top.

Note: this trail is no longer easily accessible!
Start of the single trail has been destroyed by nearby construction work and there is now a very steep bank you can't get up. But we managed to get up through the trees to the right of where the trail should have started. Nice little hike that was the right level of challenge for us in this heat. Lots of ropes to help you up some of the steeper bits. Extremely hot at the top. 🥵
Difficult trail for a beginner, starts flat but gets steep and almost vertical very quickly. There are no markings but it's difficult to get lost on this one. Looks like it's open round the clock. I started by myself just before 7am and was back about 8:30am, it was just me and no-one else. There's a lot of foliage, it's very humid and no breeze. The top was very hot and sunny but the view was breathtaking and I was already breathless from the climb. But yeah, worth it. I'd recommend beginning early, wearing good walking shoes and bringing about 500ml of water.
It's a really nice hike. I actually hiked when it was wet a
But would advise to wait for dry weather. It sure is slippery and there is high risk of falling and twisting limbs. It starts behind a small beach bar/restaurant. There are signs advising of private property but if you ignore it and follow the trail you will not need to cross any yards. Trail starts with wide gravel road going uphill. It will take you to an opening with a decent view, gazebo and a turn left. Afterwards the steep hike starts. There are couple sections which have ropes. The view on top is definitely worth the sweat. Do bring water as the hike up and down would take no less than an hour even if you go quick.
Access the path from the end of the beach near Marie's fish shack. The path is obvious - wide and gently rising at first. You come to a clearing with a roughly built gazebo with a good view. From there the path becomes steep and sharply rising - it's a hard hike in the heat. Closed shoes are essential and I wouldn't do it after heavy rain as the rocks and tree roots would be slippery. The view from the top is worth the effort!
Pretty hard hike. It starts off slow but gets steep. The view is amazing though, very worth it. There's bits of ruins and even a pond. The hike starts right at the end of the beach where the fish shack is at.
According to locals at the beach, the trail is permanently inaccessible from the trailhead. The new construction has obliterated any access and will likely not be restored. Someone offered a water taxi to the other side, where the trail is accessible but we didn't take him up on his offer.
Nice hike! Second half is very steep. Currently trail says closed at the bottom, but it’s not actually. Rude Boy bar at the bottom was great for a post hike beer and dip in the ocean!

Not real Spanish tapas, just s fusion of everything. They do have sangria though. Price wise it's expensive compared with other bars in the area. Outdoor seating is pretty good.
Very cute and classy!
There is a sign on the side that says “to waterfront” and that’s the way! I could eat those chicken wings every day!
The atmosphere for breakfast or brunch is faboulous. A waterfront view is available but book to secure. Food is tasty and more than tapas. A good place to meet with friends for a bite. Courteous staff is also on the ball with great service. I intend to return.
Great atmosphere, the food was excellent and the bread pudding was an awesome finish!
We've been there 2 out of the first 3 nights on the island. Delicious food and great service!!!
Wonderful restaurant. We met the owner on mother's day and we took her card to make reservations for Big Chef which is next door (same owner). The food and service was excellent and the outside seating was amazing. It also offers a wonderful view of Rodney Bay. Enjoy.
So good! We are American and were having a little culture shock upon arriving. Kids (and me, honestly) were struggling with the food so when we went here and recognized the food choices it was a huge relief. It does seem to be local cuisine, just relatable. And DELICIOUS. Best of both worlds for us. The waitress was the nicest person we've met on this island, restaurant was nice and clean. Pretty cheap ($100 usd for 4 meals/non-alcohol drinks/appetizer), portions are very large as well.

Beautifully located restaurant by the waterfront. We had dinner here and the food was cooked to perfection. Very attentive and friendly staff (honoured request in our reservation for a specific table for the occasion).
Max L — Google review
Location is on the Harbour, nice view, nice breeze. Terrible service, the young waitress spilled an entire drink tray over one of our party members. Still charged her a full price for meal and drink. Food is fine, excellent presentation to compensate for okay taste. This is one of the better restaurants in the area.
We celebrated our anniversary here- perfect spot! The staff went out of their way to mention it, and were so on top of things. Even as a picky eater- all of the food is so good! We loved every bite. Steak was cooked perfectly too. The drinks were delicious and great mix. Highly recommend visiting here!
A lovely setting, with delicious food for an Anniversary dinner. We had the top half of the menu (all appetizers in pics) with a crisp bottle of white. Every dish was delicious (special mention to the curry, mussels, goat cheese tart and liver, mushroom pastry dishes). The staff makes the place exceptional, paired with the view and it's easily one of the best spots on the Island. Thank you all!
I had an amazing time here dining for dinner for my birthday. I highly recommend it! 😁 The quality of the food was exceptional, the staff was friendly and I felt well served.
All I can say is wow , starting with the location and the decor of the restaurant. Right on the edge of the lagoon with a lovely view and the restaurant is so elegantly decorated. The staff were very welcoming and sorted us with a table of six without hesitation. The the service , this is second to none. We were recommended some of the specials. If you haven’t tried lion fish then you need to try it here. It was cooked so delicately, the tuna steak was excellent. Within the party we tried; snails, frogs legs and mussels. The wine selection was fabulous as were my vodka martinis. All in all I would highly recommend jacques waterfront dining.
Absolutely beautiful. Delicious food, presentation, setting, and service. The drinks were good as well.
This waterfront restaurant made for an incredible anniversary dinner! While there wasn’t designated parking, we found a spot near some houses and enjoyed a short walk to the restaurant. The staff were attentive and warm, making the experience even better. My husband and I both ordered the grilled chicken with pan-fried mango, served with fresh veggies—it was delicious. For dessert, I had the cheesecake, and my husband opted for the crème brûlée. Even though it was dark by 6:30 pm, the underwater lights created a lovely ambiance. They even surprised us with an anniversary dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend this place for a memorable dining experience!

Stopped there today on a tour of the island. There were high tides so beach was not as wide. Water was warm. Got our Free Rum Punch which is a Killer🤪. Went to Spinnaker’s. It wasn’t busy and it was before noon. They have a breakfast menu and we had breakfast tacos and a BLT sandwich with fries. Food was very tasty and well prepared & presented. Our server Chan was friendly and knowledgeable and a cutie🥰. Glad we went

Our favorite restaurant on the island! Perfect location right on the beach. I’m a horribly picky eater, the manager was our server and went out of her way to accommodate us - making something off the menu. It was SO good. She always kept our drinks full, checked in on us, and was so friendly. A definite MUST try! There’s a free parking lot right next door too!
You can find Spinnakers right on Reduit Beach - the perfect spot to combine a dip in the sea with a great meal. The food is tasty, the portions are generous.
A great option if you’re looking to enjoy the water and lunch all in one place!
Been to this place for lunch and breakfast both times were great. The staff are lovely and the bartender knows how to make drinks. Would definitely come back. 10/10
Food in St. Lucia is usually great. I ordered snapper but got fillet fish. I was expecting a whole snapper like I usually get. (Very disappointed) Plus, the portion was very small. I ordered rice and veggies and got a few strands of lettuce looking salad thing. Anyway, because I like sitting at the beach ⛱️, I enjoyed the atmosphere. It seemed that is what I was paying for. 70ec is too expensive for fillet snapper, baby portion for dinner.
Tasty meal, friendly staff, happy hour drink specials, great sunset view, and reasonable prices. Excellent vacation dinner spot. And cute local wildlife.
Had a good meal at Spinnakers. Food was good with everything we tried and great cocktails. They were pretty busy when we arrived but were very friendly. Would definitely come again.
Excellent location right on reduit beach, though to an extent view spoilt by an over abundance of sun deck chairs in front of the restaurant on the beach. Food was fine, though check your meat is cooked well and doesn't come out too raw. Burger buns weren't the freshest. Service was very good.

The food was fast, delicious and served with a smile from Keshia. I would definitely come back! I ordered the black bean shrimp sizzling platter. I would definitely recommend it to everyone. It was so good also the shrimp fried rice Top tier! These are my favourite items that I ordered on the menu.
The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the atmosphere was peaceful
Food was excellent, portions were large, service was amazing. Highly recommend, will most likely return again before we leave.
Lovely Cantonese restaurant with great food and very friendly staff. We shared the set menu option A for 2 people and enjoyed all of it. We had chicken and sweetcorn soup to start, followed by chicken won tons, then various chicken and beef dishes for main, along with egg fried rice.
I have enjoyed food from this restaurant for nearly 20 years. The staff are knowledgeable of their menu and friendly. I keep coming back for more!
The duck and chicken corn soup are a must have!
I continue to enjoy the atmosphere here.
Right across the street from where we were staying - this place was awesome. Great menu, the food was delicious and staff were very nice. We loved it so much we came back for a second dinner.
Food was great, good a last minute reservation so I was so happy. Hit the taste buds and I thoroughly enjoyed the ambience.
