Reduit Beach
Reduit Beach is the finest beach in Rodney Bay and one of the best on St Lucia — a beautiful five-mile stretch of soft white sand with calm, clear Caribbean water. The beach is ideally located close to a host of hotels, bars and restaurants and is perfect for swimming, sunbathing and water sports. The Splash Island Water Park floats just offshore, providing great fun for families and the young at heart.
Rodney Bay Marina
Rodney Bay Marina is one of the finest marinas in the Caribbean — a world-class facility with berths for hundreds of yachts, a great selection of waterfront restaurants and bars, and a lively social scene. The marina is the hub of Rodney Bay's social life and is particularly lively during the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC), the world's largest ocean sailing event, which arrives in Rodney Bay each December.

Rodney Bay has excellent water sports facilities. The calm, clear water of Reduit Beach is ideal for snorkelling, windsurfing, water-skiing, kayaking and paddleboarding. Several operators on the beach offer water sports hire and guided snorkelling tours to the coral reefs just offshore. Boat trips to Pigeon Island and catamaran cruises along the west coast are also popular.
