MARIGOT BAY - Located 5 miles south of Castries on the sheltered west coast of St Lucia, Marigot Bay is approximately one hour by road from Hewannora International Airport - a considerably shorter time than to the popular Rodney Bay area in the north.

‍Marigot Bay is an area of outstanding natural beauty and has been used as a set for many well-known films, including the tropical island scenes in the original Dr Doolittle with Rex Harrison and Anthony Newley, Fire Power with Sophia Loren, Water with Michael Caine and some scenes of Pirates of the Caribbean with Johnny Depp. It is an area with a deep cultural and historical heritage, illustrated in the Mango Beach apartments with framed photographs and literature click for Marigot Heritage Review.

‍The ridge trail above Mango Beach provides great exercise but also panoramic views over Marigot Bay, the coastline north and south - and Martinique on a clear day.

The safe swimming beach is reached by a 2-minute boardwalk and has a wide array of water sports from paddle-boarding to diving and deep sea fishing.

It is centrally located for touring all of St Lucia from the Pitons of Soufriere and the Moule a Chic lighthouse in the extreme south to Pigeon Island National Park in the north - and all the picturesque villages, waterfalls, hikes and watering-holes between.
