As its name implies, Vieux Fort was established as a French fort, built in the 17th century to protect the European nation's overseas interests. Despite its long history, you may find sightseeing in Vieux Fort a bit disappointing, as the surrounding area holds more interest than the settlement itself. Start by visiting the old lighthouse at St. Lucia's southernmost tip, which looks out to St. Vincent. In addition to uncrowded and largely undeveloped beaches, you can also take advantage of the nearby Maria Islands, two tiny spits of land shared by rare lizards, grass snakes, terns, doves, frigate birds, and other animals. Our St. Lucia trip planner allows you to schedule your trip to Vieux Fort, learn about its attractions, and find out about where else to go during your holiday.
