St Lucia more than lives up to the paradisal Caribbean stereotype: a glorious mix of honey sand beaches, translucent waters sheltering reefs swarming with tropical fish, lush interior rainforests, and a thriving culture that encompasses literature and theatre as well as music and dance. However, in contrast to other islands in the region, where the tourism infrastructure has been steadily expanding since the 1960s, St Lucia has only recently begun to attract visitors in any number. As a result, tourism has a much lower profile here, and this low-key feel is

one of the island's biggest assets.

Despite the lack of hype, St Lucia's tourist facilities are top-notch, and, unusually, cater to all budgets - you can stay at luxury hotels or inexpensive guesthouses, dine in world-class restaurants or at roadside kiosks, and shop in large duty-free malls or at open-air village markets. With little of the jaded hustle that can mar more established Caribbean destinations, St Lucia makes for a relaxed, informal and incredibly friendly place to visit

  St Lucia's southern coast boasts some striking scenery: south of Soufriere, the thin mountain road whirls and dips inland before swinging toward the ocean to reveal a string of coastal villages and, ultimately, the island's second largest town, Vieux Fort , all framed by the towering ranges of the Central Forest Reserve. - St Lucia

  Churned up by the Caribbean trade winds, the pounding waters of the Atlantic have carved out a rough and jagged east coast on St Lucia, one that's mainly ignored by visitors - to their loss. - St Lucia

  Home to some 60,000 people (more than a third of the island's total population), St Lucia's capital of CASTRIES , on the northwest coast, is a metaphor for contemporary West Indian urban culture: at times busy and congested, at times somnolent and peaceful, the town feels somewhat stuck between a centuries-old West Indian lifestyle and a desperate push to modernize. - St Lucia
