Country in the Caribbean
Saint Lucia is an Eastern Caribbean island nation with a pair of dramatically tapered mountains, the Pitons, on its west coast. Its coast is home to volcanic beaches, reef-diving sites, luxury resorts and fishing villages. Trails in the interior rainforest lead to waterfalls like the 15m-high Toraille, which pours over a cliff into a garden. The capital, Castries, is a popular cruise port.
Popular Reduit Beach offers calm water for swimming and beach bars, Marigot Bay is ringed by emerald hills, and compact Anse Chastanet beach has a reef for snorkeling and diving. Bathing in warm mud pools is a popular pastime at the Sulphur Springs Park in Soufrière. Helicopter tours offer an overhead look at the dramatic Piton peaks and the island's coastline. In Castries, the bustling market and shops sell a mix of local tropical produce and locally made crafts like wood carvings and baskets. Food draws from spicy Creole cuisine, ranging from the resorts’ gourmet offerings to local callaloo soup.
