St Lucia is a gem and welcomes sun lovers with miles of gold and black sand beaches. There are no private beaches on the island, so there are plenty to choose from. St Lucia enjoys a hot, tropical climate tempered by trade winds throughout most of the year with the driest period from December to May. The best swimming is found on the western side of the island, while the east, being exposed to the Atlantic, is better for surfing and windsurfing. Great for familes are the 5 mile long Reduit Beach on Rodney Bay and the stunning Jalousie Beach, south of Soufriere. Jalousie Beach is set like a jewell between the twin Gros and Petit Piton volcanic peaks, a truly unrivalled backdrop. Amazing snorkeling and diving can be found at Anse Chastenet. For those seeking peace and quiet, head north to the Pigeon Island National Park.
