Why You Should Go: For centuries the French and British battled for possession of this beautiful tropical setting and today the island retains the best of both worlds.  But the true lure is found in the stunning iconic beauty of the island’s soaring pitons, tumbling waterfalls, lush rainforests and unspoiled offshore reefs.  Few tropical settings enjoy the dramatic beauty of St. Lucia where the mountain rainforests tumble down to meet the sea.  In addition to lovely half-moon bays and idyllic beaches, you’ll be tempted to venture off exploring the drive-in volcano, jungle zip lines and biking trails, or perhaps join a Friday night “Jump Up” street party.  St. Lucia is a destination that definitely belongs on your must-see list!
