Marigot Bay

|
Marigot Bay, the most beautiful on St Lucia, is best viewed from a vista point on the road that cuts between the main Caribbean coastal road and the bay itself. The beaches are lined with palms and yacht traffic adds extra interest.
At the end of the road there is a shuttle craft which goes to the hotels and restaurants on the opposite shore.
The harbor is so deep and sheltered that the British fleet supposedly hid here from the French by covering their masts with palm fronds.
In April 1794, Queen Victoria's father, the Duke of Kent, landed here with grenadiers to wrest the island from French hands.
The film musical Doctor Doolittle was filmed here in 1967 and has left a permanent mark on the names of some of the local establishments.
Marigot is a French Antilles word for river which runs into wetlands by the sea.
