Caribbean Travel - St. Lucia Part 1 - Attractions

St. Lucia

I'm a Trini to the Bone. My. country is where I would love to grow old. But if I had to change that decision, my second home is St. Lucia. Anytime I'm on the internet or social media, and I see those two famous mountainous volcanic peaks, Les Pitons its like a call to come home...wanderlust💝😎

See some pictures of my favourite spots and my favorite local festival, that I think you may enjoy whenever you visit St. Lucia.

• Les Pitons - Famous and Majestic Volcanic Peaks (Gros Piton and Petit Piton) located in the southwestern part of the island. It will take your breath away. The national beer, Piton is named after it and to my taste bud has the flavour of a mild Carib...all in the Lager Beer family😁

• Praslin Bay

This is a beautiful bay is on the eastern coast of St. Lucia that reveals itself after exiting south of Dennery on the Vieux Fort Highway (no potholes...smooth driving) . This shot was taken from a height within Mamiku Gardens

• Splash Island Water Park and Reduit Beach, Gros Islet

This water Park belongs to Bay Gardens, my favourite hotel chain in St. Lucia, but we'll blog about that in a bit. It is an open-water park with obstacles course, rock climbing, dunk the basketball, water polo features, slide... its fantastic, loads of fun and slippery. I slept like a baby that night. It was complimentary with my stay....so I'm not sure of the regular admission price.

The water park is situated on Reduit Beach...gorgeous waters...I even took a dip during a thunderstorm...the water was warm and fabulous..I'm adventurous, please don't try.

• Derek Walcott Square

As I said in the "About Me", I love West Indian novelists. I had to visit the square off Brazil Street,  Castries (the capital) named after Nobel Laureate, Mr. Derek Walcott (deceased), well-known Poet and Playwright.

• Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, Micoud & Laborie Streets, Castries

This Cathedral was constructed in the 20th century and it stands on Derek Walcott Square in Castries. It's a beautiful and historic building.

I've much more attractions to show you, so I think I'll do St. Lucia Part 2
