Thanks! There are lots and lots of black sand beaches in St Lucia. Most all visitable from port .. Which one do you want to visit? The most well known is Anse Chastenet, in Soufriere. You can reach via cab or water taxi or tour. There's Ti Kaye, Soufriere beachfront, Sabwicha, Anse I'vorgne, and so forth. Most are - at least - an hour from port. Maybe check them out via Google pics, etc and then narrow down which you may want to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I noted, you can cab it, water taxi it, or take a tour, whether ship's tour or independent. Depends on what else you want to do, where ship's tours go, budget, time in port, etc It's at least 60 and often closer to 75 or 90 minutes from port to most of the beaches, and a cab to Soufriere runs around $90usd one way - depending in where in Soufriere.

KansasScrapper Posted August 29, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Would this excursion take us to a black beach? It is with Princess. The Pitons, Marigot Bay, Coastal Cruise & Beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Dorian hit us - it was a direct hit on late Monday night/Tuesday morning/afternoon. Dorian was a Tropical Storm at the time, and we sustained minimal to no real material damages. Some rain, that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
