Vieux Fort travel guide

Vieux Fort is the island’s industrial centre, with a Free Zone and the Hewanorra International Airport. It is an active town with a good Saturday market and a lot of traditional housing. The town boasts two new supermarkets in malls, JQs and Julian’s. The latter has a cinema. The police station and post office, on Theodore Street, are right in the middle of the town. The bus terminal is at the end of Clarke Street near the airport.

Cap Moule à Chique is the most southerly point on the island, with a lighthouse, from where you can see the Pitons, Morne Gomier (1,028 ft) with Morne Grand Magazin (2,022 ft) behind it. Unfortunately Morne Gimie (3,118 ft) is largely obscured. Further to the east is Piton St Esprit (1,919 ft) and Morne Durocher (1,055 ft) near Praslin.
