Jalousie (Sugar Beach)

Did you even visit Saint Lucia if you didn't spend at least one afternoon basking in the sun while admiring the gorgeous twin peaks? This is the beach to make it happen. Jalousie Beach, nestled directly in the heart of the two mountainous features, seems and feels wonderfully green. That's why this is the best place to see the twin peaks. It's also recognized for its pristine white sand and classic Caribbean blue waters. The premium hotel Sugar Beach Resort owns half of the beach (thus the nickname Sugar Beach), but you don't have to be a guest to enter. There is also a section of the beach that is open to the public.

You may take in the breathtaking scenery of Jalousie Beach, which is part of a World Heritage Site and looks out over the dazzling deep blue. You can also use its services as a snorkeler or scuba diver in the blue depths, where a 548.6 m (1,800 ft) drop-off attracts a colony of aquatic life. There's also plenty to do ashore, whether you want to spend a relaxed afternoon in the sun or sip a few cocktails at the bar.
