Saint Lucia has long been a destination for tourists in search of a Caribbean getaway, and Rodney Bay is one of the island’s most popular sites. Like many other St. Lucian sites, Rodney Bay got its name from a naval officer. In this case, it was a British naval officer by the name of George Brydes Rodney. He won many battles for the British against the French through the ingenious use of a fort. The fort was built at Pigeon Island, which is at the tip of Rodney Bay, and was used to track the advancements made by the French in Martinique.

Today, the fort at Pigeon Island is fully intact and so are the cannons, ready for war at any moment! While Rodney Bay is a beautiful destination, one of the many amazing views from Rodney Bay is across the water. You can clearly see Martinique across the Caribbean Sea when the skies are clear.
