Pigeon Island St Lucia lovely beachesPigeon Island St Lucia is located to the north of Rodney Bay and is one of St Lucia’s national landmarks. It was a 44 acre islet until it was joined to the Island in 1972 via a causeway. This is one of the locations where the 14 battles between the French and the British were fought. There are many ruins from those battles up to today. This heritage site is protected under the umbrella of the ST Lucia National Trust.
There are nature trails leading up to Fort Rodney. Fort Rodney is the sport used by the British to spy on the French during the battle. A view of the neighboring Island of Martinique can be seen from the fort on clear days. Pigeon Island has two small but lovely beaches and it is one of the venues for St Lucia Jazz. 
After your walk to the Fort, a bath at those beaches will definitely refresh you. In fact it is one of St Lucia’s most beautiful secluded beaches. Many people get married there every year because of its picturesque surroundings. There are two restaurants at Pigeon Island St Lucia. Their food is tantalizing and ready to satisfy your taste buds so you do not have to walk with your lunch. There is a fee of $5.00US for visitors and $2.00US for locals to enter the park.
