Rodney Bay is located on the island of Saint Lucia which is a small island in the Caribbean Sea and a British Commonwealth country located off the coast of Central America. It lies between the Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean, north of Trinidad and Tobago. Saint Lucia is called the "Helen of the West Indies" and is the largest of the Windward Islands which include Martinique, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Trinidad, Tobago and Grenada. St.Lucia has two airports, Hewanorra and Charles airport and Rodney Bay is closer to the second, thus easily accessible.
Rodney Bay has the shape of a horseshoe and includes a man-made lagoon. Rodney took its name after Admiral George Brydges Rodney. It is also renowned for its marina that is the second largest yachting center in the Caribbean Sea.
The reason Saint Lucia is so popular beyond its tropical weather, beaches and scenery, is its touristic infrastructure with great resorts and attractions which include a drive-in volcano and Sulphur Springs, Botanical Gardens and the twin peaks, namely "The Pitons". Don’t skip a visit to Pigeon Island National Park, which is home to Fort Rodney, an old British military base.
Santa Lucia is undoubtedly one of the most enchanting destinations in the Caribbean. Surrounded by seascapes with crystal clear waters and rare beaches, its central part is covered with lush, tropical vegetation, while the twin peaks of the Petit Piton and Gros Piton volcanoes rise to the southeast of the island creating a unique landscape. Rain forests, national parks, volcanoes, hot springs and waterfalls with ponds and beaches with crystal clear waters are waiting for you to discover!
