Soufriere Marina

You're anchoring in one of the most dramatic settings in the Caribbean, with the twin Pitons rising straight out of the water just outside the bay. Soufrière is Saint Lucia's old colonial capital, so once you're off the boat you've got a volcanic crater, waterfall hikes, and a laid-back town worth exploring on foot. The whole scene feels worlds away from the busier north of the island. The bay is managed by the Soufrière Marine Management Authority, so expect organized mooring buoys and local boat boys to help you tie up.
