Pigeon Island National Landmark
A peninsula at the northern tip of the island, connected by causeway, with 18th-century British Fort Rodney ruins, two beaches, and 360-degree views from the summit.
Pigeon Island lies at the northern tip of Saint Lucia, at the mouth of Rodney Bay. A causeway linked it to the main island in the 1970s. The island retains the ruins of Fort Rodney, barracks, and magazines that Britain built to counter France, along with a small museum. Climbing to Signal Peak takes about 20 minutes, and from the top you can see Martinique in the distance. The two small beaches are good for swimming, and the main venue of the Saint Lucia Jazz Festival is held here each May. Admission is about US$10. The island is about 1.5 hours by car from Soufrière.
