Choc Beach
Choc Bay
A long beach on the northern edge of Castries, with calm, shallow water and few visitors. Close to both the airport and downtown, it offers relaxed swimming the way locals enjoy it.
Choc Beach lies in Choc Bay between Castries and Rodney Bay. Its golden sand stretches about 1.5 km, the water is shallow and calm, and the small island in the bay, Rat Island, is right in view. One end of the beach is close to a large resort hotel. The rest is public and quieter than Reduit Beach, and local families come to picnic on weekends. Facilities are limited, though you can use the beach bars at nearby hotels. It is about a 10-minute drive from downtown Castries. Take a minibus heading toward Gros Islet and get off by the roadside.
