Dennery Falls, frequently referred to by its local name Sault Falls, is a spectacular natural attraction located on the eastern coast of Saint Lucia. Located near the fishing community of Dennery, the waterfall is reached by a short trek through lush tropical greenery on private estate land. The falls tumble roughly 20 meters over a broad rock face into a deep pool shaded by giant ferns and tropical trees. Unlike the busier falls near Soufrière, Dennery Falls remains a peaceful retreat, often visited only by a few hikers at a time. The cool waters provide a refreshing escape from the Caribbean heat, and the surrounding forest is a haven for local birdlife. Its secluded nature makes it a good spot for those seeking a private encounter with the island's beauty.
