Discover a day of adventure swimming, snorkeling or just relaxing, on two of St. Lucia’s most esteemed and picturesque beaches.

With both beaches offering breathtaking and epic views, you will think you are in paradise, twice!
Then dive into an underwater adventure snorkeling beneath the waters of the Petit Piton at Jalousie/Sugar Beach and along the coral reef in Anse Chastanet--and be amazed!
The reef in Anse Chastanet and the Marine Reserve at Jalousie/Sugar Beach are rated as offering some of the best snorkeling in the Caribbean, and are alive with a variety of coral, Sergeant Majors, Parrot Fish, Trumpet Fish, Needle Fish and many more. If you are lucky, you may even see an Octopus or Turtle! The vibrancy, diversity and abundance of marine life will leave you in awe!
