Walk the very causeway where Admiral Rodney launched his decisive 1782 Battle of the Saints, climb Fort Rodney's twin peaks for panoramic Caribbean views, and explore ruins that shaped the entire colonial history of the Lesser Antilles.
What to expect
Cross the short causeway onto the island and follow your guide through the 18th-century barracks, officers' quarters, and cannon batteries. The ascent to Fort Rodney's summit rewards with a sweeping 360-degree panorama over Rodney Bay, Martinique on the horizon, and the turquoise Atlantic. The beach at the island's northern tip invites a refreshing post-hike swim.
Good to know
Just 10–15 minutes by taxi from the cruise pier — ideal for a half-day excursion leaving the afternoon free. The site opens at 9 am; arrive early to beat the midday heat. Sturdy walking sandals recommended; the fort path is uneven stone.
