An Overview Of St. Lucia

pigeon islandWhen choosing a destination for a tropical vacation, the Caribbean often tops the lists of many tourists. One of our favorite islands in the Caribbean is St. Lucia. The atmosphere and the surroundings are so appealing that it is hard not to want to add this destination to your list of possible destinations.

St. Lucia is located approximately 90 miles North West of another great tropical destination, Barbados, and is situated in the center of the Eastern Caribbean’s group of islands often referred to as the Windward Islands. St. Lucia’s capital city is Castries and is found on the NW portion of the island and boasts a population of nearly 50,000. The overall population on the island is roughly 150,000 of which 43% make up the island’s workforce.

The island is composed with a nice mixture of forests, high mountains, low lands and tropical beaches. There is a mountain range with peaks as high as 3,145 feet and a minimum height of 1,000 feet that runs through the entire length of the center of the island. The overall size of the island, by the way, is approximately 27 miles in legnth and has a width of nearly 14 miles. The overall landscape of the island is intense with lush green forests, speckled with colorful wild orchids, jasmine and scarlet chenille plants.

There are two volcanic cones that tower on the SW coast of the island that make up one of the Caribbean’s top tourist’s landmark destination. One of the cones is called Petit Piton and the other is known as Gros Piton. The Pitons are definitely a site to see.

St. Lucia, like most other tropical destinations in the Caribbean, provides year long temperatures ranging from 70-90 degrees (F). There is what they call the rainy season on the island that extends from the month of June through November.

English is the predominant language on the island, however you will find that a lot of the St. Lucians also speak Spanish and French as well as Kwéyòl, the island’s second language. You should find absolutely no problems communicating with the locals while visiting.
