Marigot Bay is a historic landmark, having been used by the French and British navies before and after a number of nearby battles.
[3] It is widely claimed that a British fleet under Admiral Barrington hid from French pursuers within the bay, [4][5] in some retellings attaching palm fronds to their masts in order to disguise themselves amongst the trees [6][7][8] however this story is likely to be apocryphal, with no primary source evidence to support this.
Scenes of the shipwreck, Great Pink Sea Snail, and the construction of the harness for the Giant Lunar Moth were filmed in the bay.
[9] The all-girl trio Arabesque featured a song "Marigot Bay" appearing on the album of the same name in 1980.
