Overview
Pigeon Island, now connected to mainland Saint Lucia by a causeway, is a 44-acre islet steeped in rich history and adorned with breathtaking natural beauty. Once a strategic military outpost for both the French and British, this national landmark offers a unique blend of historical ruins, pristine beaches, and panoramic Caribbean views.
Visitors to Pigeon Island can explore remnants of 18th-century forts, hike to scenic lookouts, and relax on tranquil beaches with calm, clear waters. The island's strategic location at the northern end of Saint Lucia provides stunning vistas of Rodney Bay and the neighboring island of Martinique on clear days, making it a truly unforgettable destination.
Embark on a rewarding hike to Fort Rodney, an 18th-century British fort, and continue to Signal Peak for unparalleled panoramic views. From these elevated points, you can admire the stunning contrast between the calm Caribbean Sea and the more turbulent Atlantic Ocean, as well as sweeping vistas of Rodney Bay and surrounding landscapes.
Tip: Wear comfortable shoes and bring water, especially on warm days, as some trails can be steep.
Delve into the island's captivating past by exploring the well-preserved military ruins scattered across the national park. Discover old barracks, officers' quarters, original cannons, and ammunition storage areas that paint a vivid picture of 18th-century warfare and colonial architecture.
Tip: Purchase a History and Guide Book at the entrance or consider a guided tour to gain deeper insights into the site's significance.

Tip: Bring reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes for comfortable exploration and to protect marine life.
Dive into the inviting waters off Pigeon Island for a snorkeling adventure. The clear waters reveal colorful coral and a variety of marine life, offering a delightful and entertaining experience, especially near the pier.
Tip: You can rent snorkeling gear nearby or bring your own. Check weather conditions before heading out for the best visibility.
Enjoy a casual meal at Jambe de Bois, a charming on-site restaurant located right on the water's edge. Named after a French pirate who once used the island as his base, it offers local dishes and refreshing drinks with picturesque views of the bay.
Tip: This is a perfect spot to refuel after exploring the park, and try local specialties like callaloo soup or fresh fish dishes.
Near the entrance gate, the Interpretation Centre (formerly the officers' mess) provides valuable historical context about Pigeon Island. Learn about its strategic importance in the colonial wars of the Caribbean through informative displays and exhibits.
Tip: Start your visit here to get a good understanding of the island's history before you begin your exploration.
