With powdery white sand imported from Guyana (because even beaches deserve a glow-up), this idyllic stretch of shoreline is nestled perfectly between the towering Gros and Petit Piton, creating one of the most picturesque settings in the entire Caribbean. It’s like Mother Nature decided to drop her most beautiful postcard right here—and then invited you to sunbathe on it.
Technically part of the ultra-luxe Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort, the beach is still open to the public—thank you, coastal access laws! There’s a designated area where non-resort guests can lay down their towels or rent beach chairs.
The first thing you’ll notice is the view. It’s hard not to feel humbled—or slightly smug—as you stretch out on soft sand between two volcanic giants. It’s the kind of place that makes you instinctively reach for your camera… then your sunscreen… then your fruity drink. Repeat.
The water here is calm, clear, and teeming with marine life, making it one of the top snorkeling spots on the island. Rent some gear or bring your own and head to the southern end of the beach, where the coral reefs are shallow and packed with colorful fish. It’s like dipping into an aquarium—except you’re the one swimming awkwardly and the fish are judging you.
If lounging is more your speed (and there’s no shame in being a professional lounger), the beach offers plenty of shade from palms and umbrellas. Grab a cocktail from the beach bar, settle into a cushioned sunbed, and contemplate how you can make this your permanent mailing address.
For those craving a bit more action, Sugar Beach also has kayaks, paddleboards, and even a water taxi service that will whisk you back to Soufrière in breezy style. And let’s not forget the people-watching—between the resort guests, day-trippers, and locals, the beach has just the right buzz to keep things interesting.
Hot Tip: If you’re not staying at the resort, your best bet is to take a water taxi from Soufrière. Not only is it quicker than the bumpy access road, but you’ll also get amazing views of the Pitons from the sea—and arrive like the beach royalty you are.
