Peace in Paradise
  

Yep...it's a beach. And a nice one. Beaches in St. Lucia are white and sometimes black sand.
Because of the volcanic nature, St. Lucia is a tall island. It is often that you see streams of water just coming off of a mountain on the side of the road. So, ho-hum, waterfalls are common.
  • Activities to consider while in St. Lucia:
  • Diving - some of the Caribbean's best diving is to be found in St. Lucia on both the northwest and southwest coasts. Anse Chastenet is especially beautiful.
  • Sailing - day and week charters are available in Rodney Bay and Marigot Bay. You can hire your own skipper for a day trip or have a group experience on a sunset cruise.
  • Shopping - experience the duty free shops of Point Seraphin and indulge yourself in downtown Castries. Visit the open-air market on Wednesday or Saturday and bargain for coconuts and bananas.
  • Rainforest expeditions - tour the rain forest, walk through the jungle, cross a jungle stream, and wander through the Mamiku botanical gardens.
  • Touring - take an all day or half-day tour of the island. Eat lunch at the Dasheen Restaurant while overlooking the Pitons; visit the quaint fishing villages, view Castries from Morne Fortune, visit a banana plantation or rum distillery , visit the fort on Pigeon Island.
  • Dining - sample the great restaurants of St.Lucia like the Coal Pot, the Green Parrot, or the Great House, voted in 2004 by the readers of Caribbean Life and Travel as one of the five best restaurants in the Caribbean.
  • Participate in events - St Lucia has numerous events to attend. The most famous are the St. Lucia Jazz Festival (second week in May), the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers in early December and Carnival in July. Every Friday night brings a street party to Gros Islet, 10 minutes from Bella Vista.
  • Chill out - Bella Vista is a great place to get away from it all. The hot tub and pool, the solitude, and the peaceful views come at no additional cost. It is truly Peace in Paradise.

So... volcanos spew sulfur. Sulfur turns everything yellow. When you visit the volcano, it will show you the results of sulphur and sulphuric acid on plants and rock. Beware of the goats.
