Anse Chastanet
In the shadow of the Pitons, St Lucia's twin volcanic spires, Anse Chastanet's reef begins a few fin-kicks from the dark golden sand and drops away in tiers of sponge and coral patrolled by trumpetfish and turtles.

About this place
The marine reserve status shows underwater. It's attached to a famously romantic resort, but the beach — like all in St Lucia — is public. Snorkel the morning, then climb Gros Piton to earn dinner.
