- In this Caribbean marine treasure, you may see needlefish, grunt, squirrelfish, cuttlefish, crabs, and sea urchins.

Jalousie Beach
- Jalousie Beach, south of Soufriere, offers crystal-clear water for swimming.
- Sunbathe on the immaculate white beach and admire the gorgeous coral reef and tropical fish.
- The beach is nestled between the beautiful peaks of Gros Piton and Petit Piton, creating a breathtaking background for this coastal destination.

- The seawater is clear and home to a diverse range of fish, squid, crabs, and corals.
La Toc Beach
- The beach in La Toc is picture beautiful, with blue waters swishing softly onto the golden sand and palm palms giving welcome shade from the midday sun.

- This charming St. Lucian hamlet is approximately an hour south of Castries and is an excellent location for a few days of exploring on holiday.
- Soufriere, which was founded in 1745, has a colourful history. Its most famous resident is Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte's wife, Josephine, born here in 1763.

Saint Lucia Off the Beaten Track
Saint Lucia North.
- You may hear words such as "up north" or "down south" after arriving in Saint Lucia. This distinction is a common component of everyday language, and knowing it ahead of time will help you navigate the island more effectively.
- Cap Estate, Rodney Bay, Gros Islet, Castries, and other communities in the area come into the northern group in Saint Lucia (the southern category will be discussed later).
- As the country's capital, Castries attracts many tourists looking for an authentic taste of Saint Lucia.
- Castries, fortunately, delivers – the often-bustling city centre is full of character, and you'll either find things frantic (during the week) or calm and quiet (on Sundays and public holidays).
- The island's central cruise ship dock is in Castries, making it very popular.
- When in the north, cruise guests' excursions are usually not restricted to Castries; some travel in groups to the outskirts of Castries, where spectacular views of the Castries harbour and surrounds, while others continue further north if time allows.
Down south in Saint Lucia
- Soufriere, Choiseul, Laborie, Micoud, Vieux Fort, and other settlements in the south of Saint Lucia make up the southern part of the island.
- Starting in Vieux Fort (where most international guests arrive at Hewanorra International Airport) and travelling east or west to the north, you'll find that each hamlet has its own identity and things to see and do.
- Because of attractions such as The Pitons, Sulphur Springs, and other popular tour stops, Soufriere is the most popular destination for travellers looking for a southern Saint Lucia experience.
- However, hotels and resorts in Soufriere are generally expensive, which isn't always good news for budget travellers. Fortunately, there are various guest houses or bed and breakfasts that tourists on a budget can enjoy.
- Honeymooners seeking a more private experience should stay towards the island's south, particularly on the southwestern coast, where they can truly unwind and enjoy their time in Saint Lucia. This place has won multiple World Honeymoon Destination of the Year accolades.

Saint Lucia: Food, Fun & Fashion Guide
St Lucia Lambi – known as Conch
#FOOD
- looking for a truly original flavor, look no further taste, go to a Friday night street party or a weekend market. In a few places, notably in the Rodney Bay region.
- The delicious meat of a giant shellfish known as Conch (pronounced "conk") is the major component in St Lucia Lambi.
- On the other hand, many visitors develop a taste for it while they're here! Lambi is made by simmering little pieces of conch meat in a spicy Caribbean sauce with just the right amount of seasoning.
Green Figs and Saltfish
#FOOD
- The island's main export, figs, or unripe green bananas, are used in St Lucia's national meal.
- Once upon a time, salted fish was a relatively inexpensive food source. So, while this meal used to be regarded as a bit of a snoozer, it's now on the menu at nearly every restaurant in St Lucia.
- The figs are peeled and boiled in seawater before combining with cooked or flaked cod to make the meal.
- Peppers, locally grown herbs, spices, and caramelised onions are then added to the mixture to finish it off.
Sulphur Springs
#FUN
- The village of Soufriere is home to the Caribbean's first drive-in volcano and has the magnificent Pitons as a backdrop.
- Sulphur Springs is a live geothermal zone where you can get up and personal with bubbling mud pools and steam vents. Guides will demonstrate how volcanic activity shaped the entire Caribbean basin.
- Take a relaxing bath in the pools supplied by the warm, mineral-rich springs on your way back from the crater.
Helicopter Tours
#FUN
- Because much of Saint Lucia is mountainous and densely forested, flying is the only way to obtain a complete picture of the island's beautiful scenery.
- Short helicopter tours of the north or south can be taken, or a long flight can be combined with the two.
- Your pilot will deliver an engaging commentary beginning with take-off, pointing out geographical highlights like villages, waterfalls, and offshore reefs and imparting information about historical events, local celebrities and their residences, and the island economy.
Rainforest Aerial Tram
#FUN
- A cable car is one of Saint Lucia's more unusual attractions. Still, it's an ingenious method to give visitors a close-up glimpse of the forest canopy — an astoundingly diverse natural habitat.
- The tramway transports visitors to the ecological park in the high woodland in silence, thanks to 16 open-air gondolas.
- A naturalist escorted each group who pointed out native plants (such as enormous ferns and garish heliconia) and could identify the many birds by their sounds or plumage.
Bird Watching
#FUN
- There are six endemic species on Saint Lucia, making it the Caribbean's most diverse birding destination.
- The Saint Lucia parrot is the island's national bird, with its rainbow plumage and blue face and the Saint Lucia oriole and Saint Lucia pewee.
- Over 180 different species of birds can be seen on the island.
- Millet Bird Sanctuary, Des Cartier Rainforest Trail, and Vieux Fort Wetlands are the best places to see it.
FASHION
#FASHION
- St. Lucia is known for its natural beauty, but the Caribbean island also has a stunning range of art galleries and stores where you can add a fashionable touch of St. Lucian style to your wardrobe.
- Of course, the abundance of handcrafted chic—scattered over the island in corner shops and villages—can be intimidating to the overwhelmed guest.
- To that end, we've compiled a list of the top 10 shopping destinations in St. Lucia, so you don't have to buy all of your souvenirs at the airport.
- Read on for some island-inspired artistic and style ideas, and get ready to start planning your next trip.
Castries Market
#FASHION
- Hundreds of merchants offer everything from local coffee and cocoa sticks to straw baskets and calabash bowls at this open-air market in the St. Lucian capital, which opened in 1891.
- Hike up the Morne Fortune after that to take in the magnificent ridge-top view of the capital below.
- Make it a full-day excursion by arranging a tour with St. Lucia Eco Adventures, which will take you on a guided tour of Castries' street markets.
- In any case, you'll be satisfied with a newfound understanding of St. Lucian culture and a shopping bag full of Caribbean goodies and delicacies.
SUGAR BEACH
#FASHION
- Check out the seashore gift store at Sugar Beach if you're seeking for high-fashion trends to flaunt on the beach.
- A word of caution: though the labels are top-notch, the prices at this Viceroy Resort are higher.
- The gift shop at nearby Ladera Resort is another brilliant option for travellers looking for a festive coverup or sun hat to match the tropical ambience of the island.
Sea Island Cotton Shop
#FASHION
- Sea Island Cotton Shop with quality products is the island's most significant and must visit place for shopping as it is a souvenir shop with low prices.
- Two locations are available: one in Rodney Bay's Bay Walk Mall and Castries' La Place Carenage.
- Sea Island Cotton Shop includes all the typical things, such as rum, soap, and Cocoa, for those looking for the perfect souvenir.
Boucan by Hotel Chocolate
#FASHION
