The most hostoric beach to visit in St.Lucia

                                                                 Grand Anse Beach!






Below are photos of Grand Anse.


   Yes, I know that you have read that the beach is filled with rubbish and sargassum, but there is so much more to the location. Grand Anse is not just a beach; it has some profound historical landmarks. These photos are not nearly enough to fully experience the beauty of the landmark on the Grand Anse Beach.
Furthermore, to your left-hand side upon entering the beach, there is a hilltop that you will be able to access. From the hilltop, there is a magnificent view, which I was unable to capture in a photo to prove that statement.
Sadly, the beach is overtaken by sargassum, which makes it unappealing to go for a swim. In addition, local habitants visits the beach quite often to collect sand, and in the process, they destroy rare artifacts, ruins, and sites that show that the Caribs and Arawaks once lived there. It is just sad that the place is being destroyed in such a manner.

It is home to leatherback turtles and unique birds.

                                     How to get to Grand Anse Beach

The Grand Anse beach is located in the community of Babonneau, and it is about two miles off-road to get there. The road to Grand Anse is unpaved, quite unstable, and rough; you will need to get an off-road vehicle to get there. I went there myself, and it was such a fun adventure in those 'Gladiator Jeeps'. Behind every challenge, there will be a fun solution.
My best advice would be to ensure that you book with a touring company to visit the beach. It is a bit dangerous to get there on your own.

Here is a link to a touring company.

Do you know about Mercury Beach?

What is Mercury Beach? Mercury Beach is an event held by the French nationals of Martinique, a neighbouring island off the coast of St. Lucia. Like the name suggests, it is held on a beach. That event is now being held in Martinique, not in St. Lucia anymore, but it is just as successful in Martinique as it was in St.Lucia. Mercury Beach will be held on the 26th of July 2026. The event normally takes place in the community, which is called Grande Anse in Martinique. By a beach called Anse d'Arlet at one time, but that location can change at any point.  The performers for the event are and will be Caribbean artists. They do have DJ performances, though I have never attended. I know a lot about the event based on my previous employment back in St. Lucia. The Mercury Beach party was linked to a late-night club in St. Lucia, and during that event, I always had to work. That is because, after the beach party, the attendants would go to the late-night club as the after-party. According t...

Marigot Bay in Saint Lucia

        Marigot Bay in Saint Lucia. If you are planning to visit St. Lucia, ensure that you pay this beautiful bay a visit. If you are traveling by land, you get to experience the breathtaking view of the bay while standing on the hilltop of the Marigot community, as shown in the photo above. Sorry to say, but the condition of the road is not too tire-friendly. However, I do hope it gets fixed in the near future. In addition, you can also access the bay by sea. To continue, there is a range of hotels and restaurants that you could choose from.  There are also mangroves that you can literally walk through to experience the magnificence of nature by the use of a wooden bridge, which creates the perfect path among the groves.  Furthermore, to access the other half of the bay, you would need to get on a ferry, which will take you to the other side of the bay by sea, which normally charges about $2 U.S.  On the other side of t...
