In a nutshell
It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This
See the Pitons from a boat trip
doreenellen Says: Visit the Pitons by boat. My daughter caught a little boat booked from our hotel. The cruise included a lunch and visit to the sulpher springs. Apparently very good value for money, cannot remember cost now though. Best way to get those photographs is from a boat.
Visit the capital, Casteries...
doreenellen Says: Visit the capital, Casteries and the Duty Free Areas. We had a taxi from our hotel.It was nice to see the St Lucia and pick up some bargains in the Duty Free Shop and at the little colourful market.
The best place we visited has...
Emma.G.S Says: The best place we visited has got to be the banana plantation! Tour groups do organised tours to them but be warned getting there might be a bit steep!It is a good place to visit because you can't just visit one everday. People who go shopping on holiday can go shopping any...
MacKiwi Says: Soufrière is the old French capital in Saint Lucia's southwest. It is a picturesque fishing village near countless attractions, including the Pitons. The French influence can be seen in the architecture of the town's buildings with second-story verandahs and gingerbread...
MacKiwi Says: This is one of the most beautiful bays you will see anywhere. Marigot bay is a natural harbour that long ago once provided a hideout for pirate ships, Marigot Bay also served as the setting for the film Dr. Doolittle.
SESM Says: This is the kind of swimsuit/barefoot place that is perfect for lunch or evening drinks. It is right on the beach at Renduit and affords an informal place with good food and drinks where you can step out of the ocean onto the restaurant patio. The fresh fish and tropical...
The Eagles Inn: The Eagles Inn
SESM Says: The restaurant at the marina in Rodney Bay has a wrap around wooden porch with tables overlooking the marina. There's even a bar that is built so that people can pull their boats up alongside and drink from their boats! Meals are served (regardless of what you order) with...
There are some nightclubs and...
SunnyIsle Says: There are some nightclubs and restaurants to choose from.Shamrock Pub - a nightclub along the waterfront offers some a open air style.Check out nightly entertainment at the Wyndham Morgan Bay Resort Elegantly casual is allowed
Emma.G.S Says: Most places are good. On a night lots of people are out and there are kid's out aswell.I found one club which was called Indies. It's phone number is 452 0727. Everywhere has it's own qualities. It just depends where you go. For the club I said about the dress sense is...
For international travel, an...
SunnyIsle Says: For international travel, an airplane is the suitable means of getting to either of the 2 airports - Hewanorra in the south or Vigie smaller and in the north.The bus system I found is very easy, however it takes some time to learn where the different buses are parked. The...
If you are on a neighbouring...
Emma.G.S Says: If you are on a neighbouring island I would suggest boat but if you live at the other side of the world I would say aeroplane.If you are wanting to go around yourself I would definetly say hire a car. Otherwise if you are just wanting a bit of sight seeing I would say...
Bar from the Bow (Ship's bow that is)
SESM Says: While floating along in the blue-green water off Renduit Beach, you may hear a conch shell horn annoucing the arrival of a boat selling cool drinks. The small motor boat has a palm frond canopy and comes right up to you in the water to sell you a drink! Lots of fun and...
Some creole phrases:Kommau ou...
SunnyIsle Says: Some creole phrases:Kommau ou ye - How are you?Sa ca fete - What is happening?Merci boku - Thank you very much.Ki kote au ca aller - Where are you going?This creole is spoken throughout St Lucia. However the natives do converse in English too. If you are adventurous,...
Drive In Volcano: Beware the Agressive Vendors!
SESM Says: A popular tourist attraction on St. Lucia near the south on the island is the drive-in volcano, purportedly the world's only! It's interesting enough but better like the smell of sulphur which is quite strong. The only down side are the hordes of vendors who accost every...
Castries is a ghost town on...
SunnyIsle Says: Castries is a ghost town on evenings and at week-ends. If you are looking for action find yourself up north in Rodney Bay, on a Friday choose between Gros Islet or Anse le Raye.The 'liming' in this island is from Wedesday to Sunday and peaks on the Friday.
SunnyIsle Says: Light clothing would do, the days are often sunny only some occasional rain between January and May. Expect lots of rain in June to December - our 'Rainy Season'. There are only 2 seasons 'Dry' and 'Rainy'. Come without luggage and get what you need here
Emma.G.S Says: A suit case believe it or not!You may need a bit more luggage than your Gucci handbag or your backpack! Not much really as it is warm most of the time but mostly cotton clothing an a sun hat Mosquito spray! You should carry it around with you all the time and not...
SESM Says: The local crafts market in Castries -- crowded but filled with great things like baskets! My favorites were the tiny baskets filled with local spices (including whole nutmegs and such). The produce market next door is fun to wander, too.
St. Lucia: You CAN have it all
SESM Says: Although I can't honestly say I've been to any other Caribbean vacation spots, we liked St. Lucia because it had such a variety of offerings -- beautiful beaches, natural attractions, historic sights, and a colorful capital city. We loved the people we met, the beaches (of...
missy2002 Says: There are many beautiful places in St Lucia, one that sticks out is a view point on the way to Soufriere where you have a beautiful view of the Pitons. I miss the whole atmosphere of St Lucia. I miss the friends that I have made there.

Turning 50 is a big deal and if you are born in a winter month--turning 50 on an island paradise sounds about right! That's what I did when my husband and I went to St. Lucia in January 2001.
I lived and worked here for a month. I stayed within the population of Vieux Fort and really had a chance to become a part of the community. I did visit the resort areas as well. Anse Chastenet has to...
