About the district of

Dennery

Originally a quiet fishing village, it has gone on to become one of the more popular tourist destinations in the country. Gros Islet is not only the name of one of the island’s better known villages but also refers to one of the eleven quarters.

Much of Dennery is in Mabouya Valley which is made up of Derniere Riviere, Au Leon, Despinoze, Gadette, Grand Riviere, Grand Ravine, La Ressource, Richfond and other surrounding areas; and Frigate Island Nature Reserve is offshore a few kilometers to the south of the town.

The town of Dennery is located in the midst of a ruggedly beautiful section of Saint Lucia’s east coast. The modestly sheltered bay with a sizeable crag of an island in its center is port to a very productive fishing industry. Overlooks south of town provide a great view of it all. Just to the north of town is Fond d’Or Bay, a stretch of white sand beach framed by very scenic cliffs that can be seen from an overlook at the Fire Station located on the main road. Sault Falls is located a few miles inland from Dennery, it is a 20m high waterfall on the Dennery River also is the Frigate Island Nature Reserve. Operated by the St Lucia National Trust which is a breeding area for seabirds . There is a lovely estate called Mamiku Gardens which has rich history, currently a tourist attraction and features a low density development with land lots available for purchase.
