St. Lucia is the second largest island in the Caribbean Windward Islands and is a dream-like place remaining largely unspoilt. The eastern shore is graced by the Atlantic Ocean, while the beaches of the west coast are beautified by the Caribbean Sea. St Lucia’s dramatic twin coastal peaks, the Pitons, soar 2,000 ft up from the sea, and shelter magnificent rain forests which give home to brilliantly colourful tropical birds. For a truly diverse St Lucia holiday, why not explore these winding trails for a glimpse of the great St Lucia oriole or St Lucia parrot? Like much of the Caribbean, there are great diving opportunities here with some fantastic coral reefs to explore at Rodney Bay in particular.
