Pigeon Island
Island
St Lucia
"Stretched out from the northwest corner of the island like a small arm, Pigeon Island is a historical landmark and a satisfying all-in-one nature, beach, and hiking escape minutes from Rodney Bay Marina. The 44-acre mountainous green plot is home to the preserved ruins of British military forts and garrisons; theBrits chased the Caribs out and used the islet to monitor French activity. Walk among the ruins, and hike up to the cannons of Fort Rodney, where the lookout point offers a breathtaking panoramic view of St. Lucia's coastline and the sea below, dotted with sailboats. Hike down to the beach for a swim and a toast to history at Jambe de Bois, a restaurant on the water."
"The site will host the first Wellness Music Festival in St. Lucia from Sept 24–26, 2020, featuring international jazz and soul performers such as Dee Dee Bridgewater and a Wellness Village that showcases local cuisine, health-based workshops and presentations, and on-site spa treatments; the event also includes VIP partnerships with luxury wellness resorts." - Annie Fitzsimmons
