Reduit Beach Ave

St Lucia, Saint Lucia

---

Reduit Beach Avenue is a vibrant area in Rodney Bay on the northern end of St. Lucia, known for its close proximity to the famous Reduit Beach, which is considered the best stretch of golden sand on Saint Lucia and the majestic crown of the northwest coastline.

Reduit Beach itself is situated on the shores of Rodney Bay, flanked to the east by the town of Gros Islet, and overlooks Rodney Bay in the southwestern outskirts of Gros Islet in the northern half of St. Lucia. This popular beach offers soft sand perfect for relaxing, shallow waters that stretch well into the harbor teeming with life for beginner-friendly snorkeling, and various water sports activities including jet ski rentals, sailing, fishing, and scuba diving tours arranged near Rodney Bay Marina.

The beach gets busy at peak times especially when cruise ships stop at Point Seraphine, but there's plenty of beachfront to spread out on and is never too packed due to its large size. Visitors can enjoy amenities including beach bars and restaurants along the shore like Spinnaker's Beach Bar and Carvery, Marie's Fish Shack, Bambooze, Razmataz, and Jacques Waterfront Dining, plus two highly-rated hotels directly on the beach (Bay Gardens Beach Resort & Spa and Mystique St. Lucia), a large public parking lot behind the beach, and local vendors renting beach chairs, umbrellas, and water sports equipment.

Near the north end of the beach is Splash Island Water Park, offering bounce castles, rafts, and rock climbing walls for both children and adults, while the avenue serves as a hub with numerous accommodations ranging from large all-inclusive resorts to small boutique hotels, plus restaurants, taverns, shops, and entertainment including Treasure Bay Casino with over 250 slot machines. Reduit Beach is about a 20-minute taxi ride from Castries or Point Seraphine cruise port and around 10 minutes from Gros Islet, making it one of the most fun and popular things to do in St. Lucia.
