Castries - Port
The port is a scenic place for those who like to watch cruise ships, since virtually every day brings one or two of these floating beauties. Ships use both quays on both the north and south shores of the harbor.
On the Castries side, the Elizabeth II dock is exited through a duty-free shopping building and is just a few steps away from the Market and old Castries.
Those docking on the south shore may not want to miss the larger duty free shopping across the water at Pointe Seraphine. Regular water taxies connect the two areas.
