St Lucia / Beach bars

Besides the regular beach bars in the northern areas, near Castries and around Rodney Bay, you will find other bars with magical settings around the island, particularly in the isolated coves of the west coast. We recommend you try the following:

Anse Mamin, just north of Anse Chastanet - Bar with sports, kayaking and mountain-biking in the valley behind, a nice bar at which to spend the day.

Doolittle’s, Marigot Bay - A popular spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner on a small strip of sand on the northern side of this extremely pretty bay, accessed by ferry. Happy Hour is from 5pm-7pm, perfect to watch the sunset over Marigot Bay.

Harmony’s, Malgretoute Beach - Beneath the Petit Piton. Popular with St Lucians at weekends.

Jambe de Bois, Pigeon Island - Cool and easy hang-out right on the waterfront looking back to Rodney Bay from the sheltered side of Pigeon Point. Good juices and healthy food, book exchange.

Piti Piton Bar, Anse Chastanet - Bar and restaurant attached to the hotel in a very pretty cove just outside Soufrière. Serves a variety of tropical cocktails, beers, and liquors.

The Reef, Anse de Sables - Good eatery and popular haunt for windsurfers and kitesurfers set on an expanse of beach near the airport. Sundays see a large local contingent enjoying a family barbecue, a swim and of course some lively music.

Sandy Beach, Anse de Sables - Good for snacks, again popular with sportsmen.

Spinnakers, Reduit Beach - Nice wooden deck with a fantastic setting on the superb sand of Reduit beach, lively crowd, a constant feed of sports on the TV.

The Wharf, Choc Bay - Rotis and salads on a nice and generally unfrequented bay not far north of Castries.
