St. Lucia Travel Guide

Magnificent St. Lucia is distinguished from its neighbors by the Pitons—the twin peaks that soar nearly half a mile above the ocean floor on the southwest coast. Nearby, a "drive-in" volcano fosters healing sulfur springs that have rejuvenated bathers for nearly three centuries; not surprisingly, the island's finest hotels reside here, with sybaritic spas overlooking volcanic-sand beaches. Two additional resort areas further north also beckon visitors: All-inclusive beach resorts concentrate around Rodney Bay, while the deep harbor of Marigot Bay draws a yachting crowd. In between, a lush interior of towering mountains, dense rain forest, fertile green valleys, and acres of banana plantations await exploration.
