Description
Marigot Bay, located on the western coast of St. Lucia, is often described as one of the most beautiful and historic natural harbours in the Caribbean. Enclosed by steep, emerald green hills, the bay is a "hurricane hole" that has sheltered ships for centuries, famously including the British fleet during 18th century naval battles. Today, it is a sophisticated destination where high end luxury yachts dock alongside a picturesque inner lagoon lined with swaying palm trees and upscale waterfront restaurants. Visitors can enjoy the serene atmosphere by taking a tiny ferry across the bay to the small, white sand beach at Labas Beach, or hike to the surrounding ridges for breathtaking views of the turquoise water.

Things to do
La Bas Beach
Visiting La Bas Beach feels like a quick escape to a private island, as it’s only accessible via a short, breezy ferry ride across Marigot Bay. This small, palm fringed sandspit is tucked away in front of the Marigot Beach Club, offering calm, crystal-clear water that’s ideal for swimming or launching a kayak into the nearby mangroves. It’s a great spot to lounge with a drink from Doolittle’s, try out the local rope swing, or snorkel in the quiet cove. While the beach can feel cozy during high tide, its secluded vibe and views of the passing yachts make it a must visit for a relaxing afternoon.
Soufrière & The Pitons
A trip to Soufrière puts you at the heart of St. Lucia’s most iconic scenery, where the towering twin peaks of the Pitons rise dramatically above the sea. This historic area is packed with adventure, offering everything from steep mountain hikes and snorkeling in clear marine reserves to a dip in the famous Sulphur Springs mud baths. You can also explore the colorful Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens or simply admire the massive volcanic spires from a boat in the harbor. It is a stunning, lush destination that perfectly captures the island’s wild, natural beauty.
Doolittle’s Restaurant
Doolittle’s is a famous waterfront spot in Marigot Bay, reached by a quick, free ferry ride. Named after the movie filmed there, it’s a laid-back place to enjoy local seafood, tropical drinks, and fun events like crab racing. It’s the perfect place to slow down and watch the yachts go by.
