Pigeon Island Beach, Coastal beach at Pigeon Island National Park, Gros Islet, Saint Lucia.
Pigeon Island Beach is a sandy shore within the Pigeon Island National Park, bordered by tropical vegetation on both sides. Walking trails connect the beach to higher viewpoints offering views over the area.
An 18th-century British military fort was built here to watch French naval activity from nearby Martinique. This location played a role in the European struggle for control of the Caribbean islands.
The beach becomes a gathering place during the Saint Lucia Jazz Festival, drawing musicians and visitors from across the region. This annual celebration shapes the cultural identity of the area.
The beach has restrooms, showers, and snorkeling equipment available for rent. Several food vendors along the shore serve local Caribbean food.
A 1972 causeway joined the former island to the mainland, creating two distinct swimming areas with different water characteristics. This connection altered the geography and opened new possibilities for water activities.
