Choiseul

Choiseul is a fishing town on Saint Lucia's southwestern coast in the Caribbean. The place features local markets where fresh produce, handmade grass baskets, and clay items are sold to residents and visitors.

The area was originally called Anse Citron before becoming an independent parish in 1765. Over time, it developed into a settled community with a diverse population.

The town is known for making clay pots using traditional methods passed down through generations. These pots remain central to local cooking and daily life in the community.

The town is walkable and offers easy access to markets and beach areas. The best time to visit is in the morning when markets are active and the weather is pleasant for strolling.

Near the town is Anse l'Ivrogne Beach, which features an underwater drop that draws scuba divers. This geological formation beneath the sea creates an unusual spot for those interested in diving exploration.
