Pigeon Island, St.Lucia cruise port guide
The twin towers of the Pitons, two volcanic peaks rising to more than 2,400 feet, mark St. Lucia, an island of lush green valleys, acres of banana plantations, and bubbling sulfur springs. 24 miles of vibrant reef make St. Lucia a haven for divers and snorkelers. Pigeon Island National Park, a 40-acre island connected to the mainland by a causeway, was once a pirates' hideaway. Today, impressive ruins of old English forts, archaeological relics of Arawak Indians, and splendid beaches make this a fascinating place to explore.
About Pigeon Island, St.Lucia
Pigeon Island is a national landmark and former military base connected to the northern tip of Saint Lucia by a causeway. The site offers Fort Rodney, beaches, and panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea, making it a popular destination for cruise passengers visiting from Castries or Rodney Bay.
Fort Rodney's restored barracks and signal station are the centrepiece of any visit. Hikers can summit the peak for panoramic vistas. The broader Saint Lucia itinerary typically extends south to Soufrière, where the twin Pitons—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—dominate the skyline, and the drive-in volcano at Sulphur Springs offers sulphurous mud baths. Edmund Rainforest provides canopy tours and waterfall hikes.
