Stunning marvellous lush St Lucia!
I love it hear! I can recall seeing pictures of St Lucia and it has always been a location I wanted to visit, upon arrival I am not disappointed.
Similar to Barbados St Lucia is a tourism based island and the people are extremely helpful and kind.
The North side of the island is a hot spot of St Lucia where approximately one third of the population resides and where you can find the greater part of the resorts, a golf course, restaurants and the majority of amenities in Rodney Bay.
On this upper portion you can find property
of all kinds, anything from estate homes, town homes, resale’s and most with fantastic panoramic views.
I must say that I personally prefer the more lush foliage and tropical settings of the centre of the Island anything from Dennery to Anse La Raye and south to Choiseul on the west side. Although there are no views to speak of this area is full of deep valleys and dense tropical jungle.
You may come to St Lucia thinking there is nothing but gorgeous white sand beaches
(and there are) but there is simply a lot more to do.
First off you can take a ferry from St Lucia and over night in other countries such as Martinique, Dominica, & Guadeloupe.
If you missed out on Tobago Cays, then you can take a day trip up there to snorkel the horseshoe reef in the protected marine park.
You can rent a car and drive the Island
, it is preferable you get a 4X4 as some of the roads are not paved or graded. This is what we decided to due to my leg and there are so many spots you can stop and look at extraordinary views, visit striking beaches
and stop to take in some hiking and site seeing.
There are also many water activities; Pigeon Beach
has jet skiing, water skiing, diving, snorkelling etc... Down in the south there is kite surfing, wind sailing and simply a great beach with great views.
Try taking organized tours such as:
Banana stealing, Rum Distillery, Sunset cruises, Jungle adventure, Rainforest walk, horseback riding, catamaran tours of the pitons, party cruises, whale and dolphin watching, waterfall hikes, deep sea fishing, golfing, shopping shuttles, ATV adventures, scuba diving, helicopter tours, sugar mill tours, old fort tours, take up the Friday street party is Gros Islet
, and Yachting all at reasonable costs.
Finally a great time to come to the island is during Jazz festival for 1 week at the beginning of May or possible try carnival in July.
I love it hear! Yes visit and stay for at least (bare minimum) 2 weeks. I would stay for 2 months if possible.
