What Attracts Visitors To St. Lucia Holidays?
There are several reasons for which St. Lucia Island is quite a sought-after holiday destination. These include its wonderful mineral baths, breathtaking beaches and bays and banana plantations. The beautiful island hosts tourists from all over the world. The list of attraction in St. Lucia are many, including, but not limited to, state-of-the-art hotels, malls, taverns, as well as natural beauty and beautiful sites.
St. Lucia is particularly famous for the Pitons, which attract many visitors. The names of the two fantastic heights are Gros Piton and Petit Piton, being twin volcanoes. Covered entirely with greenery and plants, these volcanoes are no longer active. One of the activities that tourists enjoy is the climb of these pitons, without which their St. Lucia holiday is incomplete.
The main attraction for which St. Lucia holidays are world famous is its bays and beaches. Marigot Bay, located in the south of Castries, is one of these bays and is worth a visit. Bringing its visitors close to nature with its beautiful palm trees on the sea side, this bay is definitely one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful beach in the Caribbean. A St. Lucia Holiday is wasted if this bay is not visited.
Another beach near Castries that is also quite well-known is the Rodney Bay. It is a man-made lagoon and is quite famous for its taverns, resorts, hotels, and nightlife. People also visit it for its famous water sports and activities.
The capital city of St. Lucia is Castries. Due to many fires and disasters in the past, the city might look architecturally boring, but the city has one of the best public markets. The handicrafts, different fruits and vegetable are all very attractive for the visitor and must be tried during St, Lucia holidays.
St. Lucia also boasts of the only volcano in the world that one can drive through. Known as Mount Soufriere, one drives through the volcano in a zigzag forested road. On the road, there are areas and observation points from which one can look more closely at the whispering steam and sulphur springs.
The St. Lucia holidays are incomplete unless one pays a visit to the Diamond Botanical Gardens, which also contain the popular Diamond Mineral Baths. This kind ecological beauty is what the Caribbean islands are famous for. Another breathtaking site in the gardens is the Diamond Waterfall that is known to change its colours many times during the day.
St. Lucia boasts of a number of spectacular points of scenic beauty, which could also be viewed from several observation points, such as Fond St-Jacques.
For those visitors who are fond of adventurous activities, the northern coast of the island is a perfect destination. Since it is not developed as much, there are not many people there. Untouched by artificial changes, this place is specially visited for its natural beauty and reserves and is called Grand Anse. One can also find many rare and exotic species of animals and birds here, such as dangerous snakes, sea turtles like the green turtle, leatherback, loggerhead and hawksbill. Other sites of natural reserve that are popular are the Maria Islands Nature Reserve and the Fregate Islands Nature Reserve. Only a limited number of islands in the Caribbean offer turtle and bird watching.
