Geographically, St. Lucia is a volcanic mountain island in the midst of the Caribbean’s Windward Islands. Culturally, it invites curious visitor exploration, rejuvenation, and celebration of life.

History
British abolition of slavery in 1833 ended the rein of large sugar plantations on this and other islands.

Beaches
La Toc, Reduit, Marigot Bay, Jalousie, Anse Louvert, and Grand Anse beaches have broad appeal.

Attractions
From beautiful Marigot Bay to the man-made lagoon in Rodney Bay, the island will capture your heart.
