Saint Lucia Attractions and Activities
1. Climb the Gros Piton
No journey to Lucia could possibly be said complete if even a detour to the most iconic and recognisable Heritage Site on the island is not done. The largest of the two, known suitably as the Gros Piton, reaches a whopping 798 meters, making it the second-highest mountain in the country.
2. Wonder at the Sulphur Springs
Billed as the world’s only drive-in volcano, the bubbling, steaming Sulphur Springs that emit plumes of smoke and ash betwixt the hills above Soufriere are certainly not to be missed. They can be accessed without any hassle on the winding roadways that weave into the panoramic tropical ridges from the south-western coast of St. Lucia, offering up picturesque sights of the coast and the inland jungles as they go.
3. Bathe in the nearby Mud Pools
A perfect addition to any trip into the Soufriere hills to see the Sulphur Springs, the mud pools that lurk downstream from the volcanic opening in the mountains here offer a wonderful session of healing and rejuvenation.
4. Stroll along Vigie Beach
Void of all the pushy touts and gaudy souvenir shops, without any plastic deck chairs or sun umbrellas rows, Vigie Beach has an ineradicable charm of its own. The powdery sands slope down into the Caribbean as they fringe the northern reaches of Castries City.
5. Feel the romance on Anse Chastanet
Just around the rocky coastal bends from Soufriere, nestled in its own little fold of high coastal mountains and deep green rainforest, the Anse Chastanet resort boasts perhaps the most beautiful and romantic spot of any property in the Caribbean.
