Saint Lucia underwater sculpture park development

Overview

Saint Lucia is preparing to launch ‘Below Saint Lucia’, an underwater sculpture park located at Anse La Verdure on the island’s southwest coast. Developed by DeepBlueSea, the project is scheduled to open this winter.

The park consists of 31 sculptures organized into seven underwater galleries. These installations are designed to function as artificial reefs to support coral growth and biodiversity while guiding divers through the nation’s history. Themes include early settlement, colonial conflict, enslavement, resistance, emancipation, and the development of the modern state. The collection honors various figures, such as entrepreneurs, community leaders, and war fighters, including Dame Pearlette Louisy, the nation’s longest-serving former Governor-General.

This project represents the first phase of a three-phase initiative that is expected to eventually include locations in Anse Ferre and Ciceron. The initiative aims to diversify the island’s tourism offerings by blending cultural heritage with marine conservation.
