Hostels and cheap hotels in Marigot Bay

From Castries, the West Coast Highway scoots through winding, hilly terrain and passes the signposted turn-off for Marigot Bay some 5km south; if travelling by bus, it's worth asking the driver if he'll make the two-kilometre detour down to the bay. There's no real town here, but there is a fistful of reclusive hotels and peaceful guesthouses strung along the north and south sides of the bay. These, along with a couple of good restaurants and waterside bars and a few local shops on the road down make up the village. While it's not the busiest spot, the sheltered inner lagoon is one of the island's best-protected natural yacht harbours, and Marigot's waters are permanently dotted with boats and their crews.
At the end of the steep access road from the highway is the compact waterfront village. To the right is the ever-crowded jetty of The Moorings Yacht Charters , and clustered around the complex are a small police station, customs and immigration office (tel 758/452-3487, VHF 16) for incoming yachts, and a taxi stand (tel 758/453-4406). Set a few metres back from the waterfront are entrances to the brace of small hotels set high in the hills overlooking the bay, and a small path to your left leads to The Shack , one of the most enjoyable restaurants in the bay.
