Saint Lucia to unveil underwater sculpture park

Saint Lucia will launch ‘Below Saint Lucia’, a new underwater sculpture park located at Anse La Verdure on the island’s southwest coast, this winter. Developed by Deep Blue Sea, the project serves as the first phase of a three-phase initiative that will eventually include locations in Anse Ferre and Ciceron.

The park features 31 sculptures organized into seven underwater galleries. These installations are designed to guide divers through the nation’s history, covering themes such as early settlement, colonial conflict, enslavement, resistance, emancipation, and the development of the modern state. The collection honors various figures, including entrepreneurs, community leaders, and war fighters.

Among the featured individuals is Dame Pearlette Louisy, Saint Lucia’s longest-serving former Governor-General and the only living National Legend included in the collection. The project aims to combine art, culture, and marine conservation to expand the island's tourism offerings.
