Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Resort faces 1.75-km-wide (1-mi-wide) Jalousie Bay between St. Lucia's signature twin peaks, Petit Piton and Gros Piton. The bay remains calm in most weather. A 137-m (150-yd) beach of imported light-colored sand fronts the resort's portion of the rocky-shore bay. Floats designate a snorkeling/scuba-diving area beside Petit Piton's sheer wall.
A 45.75 x 15.25 m (150 x 50 ft) oblong pool is surrounded by a sundeck with lounge chairs and umbrellas.
