As you get off the main highway, Rodney Bay is unmistakable. Flanked on both sides by shopping malls, banks, restaurants and bars, this attraction offers lots to do. Sit in their cafés, try some local Creole cuisine, shop at their tax-free brand name and specialty stores, try your luck at Saint Lucia’s only casino, or enjoy some live entertainment for a full day of excitement!
Every Friday night after sunset, the residents of Gros Islet, a colourful fishing town on the northwest tip of the island, hold a street party that keeps moving until the early hours of Saturday morning. Residents fire up their barbeques, ice their Piton beer, and set up table top bars to welcome thousands of travellers in the narrow streets of Gros Islet. Arts and crafts vendors lay out their stalls and the DJ cranks up the music, making the town centre a party central.
When you visit Soufrière, a colourful fishing town found on the west coast of Saint Lucia, you can enjoy some of the best views of the Pitons and visit the Sulphur Springs. The Pitons are St. Lucia’s twin towering peaks and prime topographic feature on the island. At the end of a long day, visitors to the Sulphur Springs can view the bubbling pools and hissing fumaroles from observation platforms, and soak in some nearby therapeutic springs.
The Diamond Falls in Soufrière features three popular attractions: a botanical garden, a beautiful waterfall colored by mineral deposits, and a healing mineral bath. Within the gardens, visitors can find educational displays of local fruits and vegetables. For a small fee, visitors can also relax in the soothing outdoor pools or private bathhouses.
