St. Lucia sits at the southern tip of the Windward Islands.
This ruggedly beautiful island is embellished with towering mountains, tropical rainforests, secluded beaches and acres of banana plantations. St. Lucia's most famous landmarks, rising to more
than 2,400 feet, are the majestic twin peaks of Petit and Gros Pitons. Deep-sea fishing, hiking, SCUBA diving and snorkeling are popular activities. A visit to the Soufriere Estate and a spin
through La Soufriere, the world's only "drive-in volcano", top off your vacation.
St. Lucia's temperature ranges from 65-85 degrees (Fahrenheit) from December to May and 75-95 degrees from June to November. Once the home of Amerindians, a hideout for pirates and a
military base for the British, it's now a recreational area with beaches and comfortable resorts. Visitors will be in awe when they gaze upon the mile-long stretches of white beach and the
gorgeous palm-fringed bays bordered by towering mountains. Nature's impact on St Lucia's beaches has made each one more breathtaking than the last.
St. Lucia's warm clear waters and numerous spectacular reefs and marine life offer a perfect environment for both scuba and snorkeling. The Anse Cochon and Anse Chastanet reefs and an
old sunken ship are some of the underwater haunts waiting to be explored. Deep sea fishing is also a popular activity.
St. Lucia offers a large variety of excellent cuisine, from European and International restaurants offering romantic candlelight dinners and sophisticated ambiance to casual dining. St. Lucia is
known for the variety of its music and the local people never miss an opportunity to display their love for it.
St. Lucia is scenically beautiful with picturesque harbor towns, white sandy beaches, clear blue
sea, orchids, fruit trees, volcanic peaks and wonderful resorts. A perfect place to relax and enjoy. |
