Pigeon Island National Landmark

Pigeon Island lies off the northwest coast of St. Lucia and exhibits much of the same features as the mainland. The Island contains some of the oldest rocks found on Saint Lucia, dated back to the Eocene age about 58 million years ago. The first inhabitants of Pigeon Island were the Amerindians who had migrated northward from South America through the island chain. Some of the stone, shell and clay artefacts found along the eastern shore, date back to around 1,0000 A.D. Fort Rodney is on the south side, and offers magnificent view of the coastline and rises to 68.2 metres above sea level. The western side mountain is steep and rocky with only two possible landing sites, used by Rodney as gun slides. Pigeon Island is famous for the island’s annual Jazz Festival. It’s the perfect spot for an educational tour, relaxing and half day tour. A tour to visit this site is arranged through us with our expert guide [ Stormy Norman ] or you can do it your self.
