Reduit Beach

Reduit Beach sits along the northwest coast of the island, at the front of Rodney Bay. It’s popular thanks to its golden sand, turquoise waters, and numerous cocktail bars and sun loungers.

The beach also boasts an inflatable waterpark, Splash Island, that is great for families and fun for all ages.

Come and enjoy a day relaxing on the beach in style, with views of the Pigeon Island National Park to top it off.

Diving and Snorkeling

St. Lucia’s diving and snorkeling hotspot is the Anse Chastanet reef. There are even occasional sightings of hawksbill turtles off the shore.

Plus, if you go just round the corner you’re at Anse Mamin, another great spot for snorkeling that is more tranquil and less busy. Another hit destination is Marigot Bay that has brightly colored corals.

But go pretty much anywhere on the island and the ocean is filled with an array of tropical fish, like trumpetfish and parrotfish. St. Lucia caters for tourists who want to get their PADI diving certificate as well as those who just want to muck about with a cheap snorkel set.

The best time for snorkeling and diving is from December to May, though the island doesn’t get much rain so the weather conditions are always pretty ideal.

Go Zip Lining

If you’re looking for something adventurous that the whole family can do, then ziplining in the rainforest might just be the answer! Hidden away in the depths of the Babonneau rainforest near Rodney Bay there is a vast network of zip lines to explore.

Swing above the forest canopy and soar through the rainforest to the sound of hummingbirds and the occasional call of a St. Lucia parrot.

Castries Market

Castries market is a hub for market vendors selling everything from fresh fish to handmade crafts. It’s a great opportunity for you to connect with Castrie’s locals and buy the most beautiful souvenirs to take home to loved ones (or keep!).

The market has been running since 1894, and it’s open every day. If you want to come on the liveliest day visit the market on a Saturday. The stalls line Jeremie Street and fill it with exotic colors and smells.

You can purchase brightly colored fresh fruits to try from the open-air section of the market and then head into the indoor area and look for the most colorful beachwear and intricately carved calabashes.

La Toc Beach

This quiet beach spot south of Castries on St. Lucia island is little known to most tourists. It’s a bit tricky to find – but it’s worth the extra effort.

Once you arrive you’ll be rewarded with a long stretch of white sand beach almost entirely to yourself. The place has an air of luxury, and a few fancy resorts and hotels line the shore, mostly hidden away by lush foliage.

Spend the day catching a tan, snorkeling in the pristine blue water, and reading a book. It’s the perfect place to come and relax for the day – there’s nothing you need to do but be!
