Pigeon Island National Park is located in Rodney Bay a few miles from Calabash Cove. This lovely 40-acre islet and reserve was once a separate island, but was connected in the 1970s to the mainland by a narrow sandy causeway. Pigeon Island is the result of a long dormant volcano. It is cooled by pleasant northeast trade winds, and is fairly mountainous and receives quite a lot rain, giving the slopes of the hills a lush cloak of vegetation. The highest hill is Signal Hill, at 359 feet. A roughly 20-minute hike through the vegetation and up the second highest hill on the islet will take visitors to the remains of Fort Rodney. Most of the fort has been destroyed by hurricanes, but there are still some original old cannons. The view is spectacular and worth the climb. The rocky coastline of the islet is full of small coves and has two lovely beaches. Bring a picnic or check out the Jambe de Bois restaurant overlooking the clear blue waters.
