Pigeon Island Beach — Attraction in undefined

Giving this a 5 star as I feel it needs a boost up from the terrible score on here which is currently 3.8 stars.

Don’t know what all these bad reviewers are whinging about, this is definitely the most beautiful beach in the north of the island in my opinion - way better than Reduit. Just bring a towel or sarong and lie under a palm tree (that’s what I did), you don’t have to pay for chairs it’s up to you.

There are some vendors who are trying to sell you something or give you foot massage, but they are not annoying. Overall it is a nice place to spend a few hrs on the beach. Be aware you can hit the traffic on the way back to the ship, allow extra...

They take care of you which is to say they won't leave you alone, they wanted $20 before we even sat down - someone else starts panhandling you at the same time weaving something out of grass that you never asked for. There was a family sitting next to us that said they had been harassed all day, they instructed us just to say that we were fine and didn't need anything, otherwise they will just keep returning trying to extort more money from you - also they charge you to use the bathroom. All the other beaches we visited on our trip were not like this at all - unless you like the attention select...
