Saint Lucia Tourist Guide From Discount Hotels

Located in the Caribbean, Saint Lucia is a wonderful choice for a vacation in a tropical paradise. This island has a rainforest, outstanding beaches, mountains and a volcano and it is also one of the windiest islands in the Caribbean. The people are friendly and the island offers a leisurely and relaxing vacation. There are several cities, towns and villages where you will witness some of the most beautiful scenery and engage in many adventurous activities.

Castries is a beautiful city and a major port of call for cruise ships. Tour the fortification that stands guard over the city, visit the 19th century Catholic Cathedral, and shop at the bustling Morne Market. There are heritage walks available through which you will get a closer look at the historic buildings of the city and learn about the island's history.  Have a great time at the Friday night street party in Gros Inlet, located on the northwestern coast of the island. The Pigeon Island National Landmark in this area will provide you with information about the island and its relationship to Admiral Rodney and the French fleet.

Take time to explore the quaint little fishing village of Anse la Raye and take in a Friday bight fish fry. Visit the second largest settlement of Soufriere where you can experience the true flavor of the West Indian culture. As you travel through the rainforest from here to Fond St. Jacques, you have to make a stop at the Diamond Waterfalls located within the Diamond Botanical Gardens. Sulphur Springs is in this area as well and is a one-of a- kind experience - a drive-in volcano.

Along with visiting picturesque villages, you can also tour the plantations on the island. Sailing, windsurfing, swimming, diving and snorkeling are just some of the activities that will help you wile away the time as you dread the thoughts of returning to work.
