With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Castries, 17 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here ought to be Rodney Bay Marina, Vigie Beach and La Toc Beach. Locals are also likely to point you toward Gros Islet, 20 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Rodney Bay Marina. (But we’d also recommend Vigie Beach and La Toc Beach.)
