St Lucia

Saint Lucia is a 250-square-mile island in the Eastern Caribbean. Two mountains, the Pitons, dominate the landscape. Because of the varied terrain, volcanic beaches, and rainforest, St Lucia is a top Caribbean destination. Moreover, luxury resorts, villas, and boutique hotels offer quality accommodations.

St. Lucia has two airports. Hewanorra Airport is the major International airport in the south of the island. European and North American airlines provide service. And Vigie Airport is a smaller airport with inter-Caribbean flights.

Sailing from St. Lucia to the Grenadines is the most comfortable option since the reverse sails against the wind and current. Moreover, the open water crossing between St. Lucia and the Grenadines can be exhilarating.
