Pigeon Island beach St Lucia is actually two separate white sand beaches. Both beaches have bathroom facilities and are kept in pristine condition since its recent upgrades. Visit Pigeon Island Beach St Lucia and it’s pretty much the same as the Sandals resort beach next door but at much less cost
Here you can spend your day lazing on the sand, wading in the shallows of the turquoise waters, or even exploring the stunning reef just off the beach. Generally uncrowded, especially midweek, Pigeon Island beach is one of the best beaches in St Lucia
St Lucia has excellent snorkelling and Pigeon Island is no exception. There is a reef near the island for snorkelling fun.
The town of Gros Islet lies on the northern edge of St Lucia on Rodney Bay in the Caribbean Sea. Pigeon Island is located on the northern leg of Rodney Bay, a pristine stretch of coast in the northern region of Saint St Lucia
If you are fortunate to arrive on a Sunday it has a great Reggae entertainment.
