Bat Cave (Soufrière)
13° 51.5′ N · 61° 4.2′ W · approximate
A sea cave in the cliffs on the north side of Soufrière Bay, near Rachette Point, roosting with bats and a regular stop for water taxis and snorkellers.
Practical
Position is approximated on the north side of Soufrière Bay near Rachette Point, from Noonsite cruiser comments that place it on the opposite side of the bay from the town's south-side moorings (approx). Water taxis run trips past it between Sugar Beach and Soufrière. Visit by dinghy in calm water; do not enter the cave or disturb the bats. Thefts around the Bat Cave were reported before 2016; keep valuables out of sight.
Best for
A short dinghy excursion from the Soufrière moorings
