Marigot Bay history - learn what once happend
St. Lucia's exquisite beauty and serenity belie a history marred by constant war and bloodshed. Even before the advent of the European conquest of the New World, St. Lucia had already been victimized by the ongoing struggle between bellicose Amerindian tribes for control of the island. The original settlers of the island migrated from the northeastern shores of the South American continent between 1000 and 500 B.C. These people were simple farmers and fishermen.

The novelist James Michner described the Marigot Bay as "the most beautiful bay in the Caribbean", and he was not the only one who was captivated by it. Due to its unspoilt nature the Marigot Bay served as perfect setting for movies such as Dr. Doolittle in 1967, Fire Power 1979, Superman II 1980, Water 1985, White Squall 1994 and Creature 1998. Marigot Bay stands out because of its multicultural community, which has grown over the years, as couples on vacation (from the US, Canada and Europe) eventually settled here and became home and business owners. The recently resurfaced highway makes the site just a 10 - 15 min drive south of Castries, 30 minutes to G. F. L. Charles Airport in Vigie/Castries and 90 minutes to the International Airport Hewanorra down south in Vieux Fort. The bay offers varied shopping facilities, bars and restaurants and is great for watersports. Marigot Bay is the ideal location for holidays off the beaten track. It has its own attractions, as there are:
