Marigot Bay

West coast, near Castries, Saint Lucia

---

Marigot Bay is a stunning natural harbor located about four miles south of Castries on the western coast of Saint Lucia, surrounded on three sides by steep, forested hills. Known as the deepest natural harbor in the Eastern Caribbean, it has historically offered safe shelter for boats during hurricanes, earning the nickname "hurricane hole."

The bay blends lush tropical scenery with calm turquoise waters and is a popular destination for yachts and tourists seeking both relaxation and adventure. Marigot Bay features high-end resorts, a marina, restaurants, and boutique shops, while the largely undeveloped northern side maintains a peaceful, traffic-free atmosphere accessible only by boat.

Its scenic beauty and rich history have made it one of the Caribbean’s most photographed and cherished locations.
