Depends on your ports and what you consider walkable.

I find the weather is always very hot and humid so one tires very easily.

When in St Thomas my husband and I always walk back to the ship but its a pretty good walk, at least 25-30 mins but we enjoy walking the road as it strolls along the beautiful water with the ship off in the distance.

Chesie:

My bad...wasnt paying attention that I was in the St Lucia board and that your question was specific to this port. Sorry!

[Chesie]

No problem! I posed this question for all our ports and St Thomas was one so thanks!

In St. Lucia, there's tons of shops right at the pier for your standard watches/jewelry and some souvenirs like all other ports. You can walk it to town about 20 minutes. Basically take the road from the pier and the first main road hand a right. Go over a small bridge and walk along the water and you'll reach town which has a flea market type of feel and some other shops around. You'll also find a Burger King. lol

 

There's also a mall if you make a right past the flea market and walk down a few hundred feet. I was able to get my much needed internet fix on the second level of the mini-mall. Like $5 for two people for like 15 min each.

 

You may have people pestering you for taxi service or a few beg for money. Just say no and keep walking.

Saw a few people taking that walk into town while we were on a tour. It was hot and very humid in October and I would have been soak and wet trying to take that walk. They have a water taxi that goes over to the town right from the pier. There are also many small shops and a couple of bars right at the pier.
