Pigeon Island
Pigeon Island National Landmark
Although no longer technically an island, as it is now connected to the northwest corner of the island by a causeway, Pigeon Island has been the site of numerous historic moments that impacted not only St. Lucia but the Caribbean and Europe as well. Pirate Jambe de Bois (“Wooden Leg”) used
this spot as a hideout and a launch spot from which to raid passing ships, and the French and British met in nearby waters in the Battle of the Saints in 1782, the most important naval battle in Caribbean history. Remains of forts share the space w ith secluded beaches. www.slunatrust.org 758.450.5005
