Marigot Bay
Marigot Bay has featured in several
movies including Doctor Doolittle as
it presents an idyllic Caribbean scene
with white sand, anchored yachts and
swaying palms. The trip to the bay
though is equally rewarding. You pass
banana fields as it follows the Venus
River which, if you choose to take a
short trek, will provide you with a nice
freshwater pool for bathing.

well as being popular with tourists Pigeon
Island is now the venue for the annual
Saint Lucia Jazz Festival.
