St. Lucia
Find this island nation floating between the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
St. Lucia is an island country in the Eastern Caribbean whose west coast is home to two very tapered mountains: the Pitons.
The coast is home to volcanic beaches, dive sites along the reef, luxury resorts, and fishing villages.
Inland, rainforest trails lead to waterfalls such as Toraille Falls, which plunge 50 feet (15 m) inside a natural garden.
The capital, Castries, is a popular cruise stop.
Tourism is easily the largest contributor to Saint Lucia’s economy.
Tourist numbers tend to be more substantial during the dry season (January to April), often referred to as the tourist season.
Saint Lucia’s tropical weather, scenery, beaches and resorts have made it a popular tourist destination, with 1.29 million visitors arriving in 2019.
