Positioned on the very northern tip of St Lucia is breathtaking Pigeon Island Landmark known to most as Pigeon Point. This location is a solid option for visitors hoping to find a host of water sporting activities to engage in, and the relaxation offered in the tranquil waters of the Caribbean Sea.While you may not want to take a long drive to Soufriere you can choose to enjoy the northern part of island which offers just as much and is only 30 minutes away from Port Castries. Pigeon Island Landmark is another one of the island’s national treasures and the area offers visitors a look into St Lucia’s past.

Pigeon Island is a historical site with ruins of military buildings and military barracks, a museum, and an Interpretation Center which offers a brief history of the island. It is also home to two beaches and two hiking trails ranging from moderate to difficult. You may also choose to stay on the outside of the park to enjoy the nearly mile-long stretch of white sandy beach, and avoid park fees altogether. Eat from one of the local canteens, enjoy the water sporting activities available or just lay in the sun. Rest areas and changing facilities are also available.
