The Pitons
Twin volcanic spires rising from the sea — Saint Lucia's UNESCO-listed icon.
Did you know
Gros Piton is climbable in a morning; Petit Piton is technical and closed to casual hikers.
Getting there
45 minutes from Soufrière along the coast road. Best viewpoint is the layby just north of Sugar Beach.
When to visit
Morning light for photography; late afternoon for warm sidelight on the peaks.
Photo tip
Shoot from the layby with the road curving into the frame — foreground gives the peaks their scale.
