does anyone know about reduit beach? and the surrounding area?

Driving is perfectly safe in St. Lucia. We rented a car for 4 days during our visit. You will have to get a temporary St. Lucia Drivers License for a few Dollars. If memory serves me correct it was $20.00. Toured the Island on our own and had a BLAST!!!. Saw the Pinton's stopped at all of the small markets along the way, went to the Soufriere's Estate. Beautiful Gardens & butterflies.

There was also a National park there that was not worth going to. They advertised hot natural pools for bathing. I would not even put by big toe in them. I expected the sulfur smell but not the polluted waters. There was so much to just see....the breathtaking scenery is worth the drive.

IMO Castries is the place to go if you love Church's. Remember ladies must have covered shoulders to enter.

While organized tours are great. We enjoyed the freedom of a car rental.

How is the weather now? Some wesbite says its still the rain season, some sites says its the end of the rain season?

Great weather now spoke to my buddy from serenity last night. We plan to return to St. Lucia towards the end of the year.

Progess, have you ever been- its so wonderful. Please make sure to see the pintos and jade mountain!

Yes visited a few times and the sites can really blow your mind. The island is off the chain lol.
