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. This southwest corner was once an Amerindian stronghold, and petroglyphs have been found throughout the area, suggesting a long and fruitful habitation by the Arawaks and Caribs. After Europeans arrived, the area was home to large plantations producing bananas, coconuts, cocoa and sugarcane, though these have been replaced by smaller farms and fishing enterprises.
