Pigeon Island National Landmark

Pigeon Island National Landmark is regarded as one of the most significant and beautiful historical sites in Saint Lucia. It's a dramatic depiction of the cultural and historical monuments of international, civil, military, and maritime crosscurrents that have shaped West Indian history. Pigeon Island is being fostered as a living museum inside a natural setting, with careful protection and wise development to meet the intellectual, cultural, and recreational requirements of those who visit this historic place. The gorgeous 44-acre island reserve, located off the coast of Western Australia, was originally encircled by water before being connected to the mainland in 1972 by a man-made causeway.

The Government of Saint Lucia declared Pigeon Island as a National Park in 1979 and a National Landmark in 1992, recognizing the importance of securing this spot where the balance of late-eighteenth-century maritime power was settled. Ruins of military buildings used during the battles between the French and the British for the island of Saint Lucia; Two beautiful beaches; A restaurant serving local cuisine; A pub and restaurant with a historical theme; and a lookout point at the top of the Fort with a panoramic view of the Northwest coastline are among the heritage attractions and amenities at Pigeon Island National Landmark.
