One activity to try while staying with us is a self-guided tour of Fort St. Louis. The climb up to the fort is about 100 steps, one of the shortest hikes that provides the most spectacular views. On a good day, you can see Marigot, Simpson Bay, Anguilla, the Lowlands, and Nettle Bay. We recommend you go in the morning or early afternoon, don’t forget to bring some water and your camera!
The fort was built to defend the harbor warehouses where goods were stored (salt, coffee, sugar cane, and rum).
In the 19th century, it was the site of a battle between the French and the English. The English would come across from Anguilla to raid the warehouses.
You will absolutely love this experience and get some great photos for your social media!
