Marigot Bay

Marigot Bay, located on the western coast of the Caribbean island country of Saint Lucia, is surrounded on three sides by steep and wooded hills. It is undoubtedly St. Lucia's most picturesque bay. It's best seen from a vantage point on the road that connects the major Caribbean coastal route to the bay itself. Yachts bob on the bay's azure waters, and lush slopes lead to a lovely palm-fringed beach. The harbor is so deep and secluded that the British fleet is said to have hidden their masts with palm leaves to avoid the French.

Marigot Bay was also the site for the 1967 film Doctor Doolittle, which has left an indelible impression on the names of several of the local businesses. Visitors may take a water shuttle across the bay to hotels on the other side of the bay. If you choose to stay here, the premium Marigot Water Resort and Marina offers beautiful views of yachts gliding in the bay among the green hills.
