What to visit in St. Lucia?

Saint Lucia is an island full of beauty, a place where Caribbean, African, French and English cultures converge, resulting in an exquisite mix of food, music and traditions. It is an island with a great maritime tradition and its landscapes, people, food and customs make it an ideal destination for the vacation of a lifetime. English is the official language but most of the inhabitants also speak Creole: Potaois.

Located in the Caribbean Sea, it is the largest of the Caribbean Windward Islands. The Windward Islands include Martinique, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, and Grenada. It is in a chain of islands in the Lesser Antilles with Martinique to the north and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to the south. These islands are southeast of the British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic… Of the two airports in St.Lucia, Hewanorra and Charles Airport, Rodney Bay is closer to the latter.

1. Anse Cochon

Thanks to its transparent waters, it is one of the best spots for snorkeling and diving on the island. It is a secluded bay in St. Lucia and one of the most popular places for day trips by boat.

Anse Cochon Beach

It is the most popular beach on the island and is located 11.6 km. of Castries, the capital. It is located in an urban area, between mountains and partially covered by trees that provide natural shade. It is a coastline with crystal clear turquoise waters and golden sand and best of all, it is not very crowded. An important part of the beach has restricted access to hotel guests and it is possible to carry out different water activities such as catamarans or jet skis.

2. Castries

Castries is the capital of Saint Lucia, a small Caribbean island between Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (to the south) and Martinique (to the north) and belongs to the British Commonwealth. It is the commercial center of the nation and its activity revolves around the port, one of the best in the eastern Caribbean. The city is very small and has few inhabitants.

George F. L. Charles Airport serves the city, but most international flights arrive at Hewanorra International Airport near Vieux Fort on the southern tip of the island. You can rent a boat to visit Soufrier, a city in the west of the island.

The visit to Castries cannot ignore its most picturesque part: the market. You can also visit the Cathedral, Dereck Walcott Square and the Botanical Garden.

7. Soufrière 

Soufrière is one of the ten districts into which Saint Lucia is divided and is a relatively undeveloped city. In 1736 it became the first city founded by French settlers in the country, most of whom came from the island of Martinique. As a backdrop are the Pitons, the sea and the jungle, to relax in an environment that has it all. Considering its name is “sulfur” in French, it should come as no surprise to discover how many hot springs and mineral baths there are. Also not to be missed are Diamond Botanical Gardens, Toraille Falls, visiting Sulfur Springs (the crater pools of the Qualibou Volcano), the beautiful beaches, and the bike paths that wind through the Anse Mamin sugar plantation.

Anse Chastanet Beach

It is located on the outskirts of the city, just in front of the Pitons Mountains. The sand, of volcanic origin, is dark and fine. Its waters of the Caribbean Sea are calm and its temperature is very pleasant. You can see colorful tropical fish and in deeper waters there is a coral reef. It is a popular spot for snorkeling and diving.
