Overview of Gros Islet, St. Lucia
Information by Rough Guides
Just north across the channel from Rodney Bay lies GROS ISLET (GROZ-i-lay), a small fishing village of rickety, rust-roofed wooden homes and narrow streets lined with fruit and vegetable vendors. The beach is somewhat dirty, and generally the town holds little of interest for the visitor. Come Friday nights, though, Lucians and visitors alike pour in for the Jump Up street party, when everyone lets loose and parties. Much of the town is blocked off, and armies of snack vendors peddling barbecue, fried fish, hot cakes and cold beers arrive to feed the hungry masses. Bars open their doors onto the street, street corners are festooned with speakers and the music is loud. Things get going around 10pm and last till late, and it's a generally good-natured affair – though sometimes can be a bit edgy. Single women should not attend alone if they're not prepared for plenty of attention. You're also best off leaving your valuables at home and being extra cautious if walking back to your guesthouse late at night.
