St. Lucia is a tropical getaway that can be found in the heart of the beautiful Caribbean Sea. Considering the French and British fought over this tiny island 14 times you just know it must be one fantastic destination. Although English is its official language the French influence can still be seen and felt. This only adds to the fabulous culture that thrives in Saint Lucia.
You are greeted by the impressive cone-shaped peaks of Gros Piton and Petit Piton as you approach the island. They have protected the rainforests for centuries and thus, the vegetation and wildlife have flourished here. Keep your eyes open for the amazing flowers and birds that call it home as you explore St. Lucia’s hidden treasures. In fact, bird watching is one of the island’s favorite activities. Another great experience is to hike the paths within the rainforests’ boundaries. Just make sure you take your camera along. The scenery it displays is definitely worth capturing.
The waters that surround Saint Lucia are ideal for sailing, surfing, snorkeling, fishing and swimming. Of course, no tropical destination could be complete without offering you luxurious beaches and St. Lucia has a number for you to enjoy. Those interested in staying on dry land will enjoy the golf courses, hiking paths and the famous Soufrière Drive-In volcano. It’s true, this volcano provides you a unique firsthand look at what makes it ‘tick’.
Although the island itself is worth visiting, the people are another great reason for traveling to Saint Lucia. They are warm, inviting and eager to showcase their beautiful home. Stroll through the markets or visit the tiny villages. Stay in the capital Castries or explore the beach towns.
