Drive Kingstown’s colonial streets, stand on the ramparts of Fort Charlotte, and follow the shoreline to Wallilabou Bay—where Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed. This five-hour guided tour blends local history, a waterfall dip, and an hour of beach snorkeling.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A dusty coastal road bends away from Kingstown and the island opens up—green ridges dropping into a rim of black sand and reef. The bus eases up to Fort Charlotte first: cannons and coral-stone walls sit above the harbor, wind pushing the view toward Young Island and Mustique. From there the route threads past market squares, a fishing town shaped into a natural bowl, and along the Nelson Mandela Highway until the coastline breaks at Wallilabou Bay, where the movie set timbers still lean against a palm-framed inlet and the tide toys with rusted anchors.
