Love at Diamond Falls, St Lucia © Mark Drago |
The South Caribbean island of St Lucia offers honeymoon couples
a chance to escape the bustle of the western world and revel in
exotic island delights. Newly-weds will find gorgeous beaches to
relax on, quaint and friendly towns to enjoy, and fascinating
natural sites to explore, made even more pleasant by year-round
good weather.
St Lucia Honeymoon Things To Do
St Lucia has many romantic things to do and see. In
Castries, couples can sit together in the shade of the huge
samaan tree in Derek
Walcott Square, thought to be about 400 years old, or relax at
Pointe Seraphine and La Place Carenage in the town's natural
harbour. Pigeon
Island, north of Castries, has a romantic past as the hide-out
of Jambe de Bois, an infamous peg-leg pirate.
Wander the town of Soufriere,
taking in the colourfully painted buildings and jungle background,
as well as the two extinct volcanoes above the port. The 'drive-in'
volcano, Mount Soufriere, is an interesting outing, while the
nearby Diamond Mineral Baths, Waterfall and Botanical Gardens are
also romantic retreats.
Other interesting excursions for newly-weds include a trip to one
of the banana plantations, such as Marquis
Estate, or perhaps climbing Morne
Fortune, the 'Hill of Good Luck'. As one of the most beautiful
bays in the Caribbean, Marigot
Bay is definitely worth spending some time at, as is Grande
Anse Beach, on St Lucia's north coast.
