St. Lucia’s population of 170,000 is scattered along the coastline in clusters of remote villages and in the capital, Castries. Most tourists head to the northwestern, Caribbean side of the island, where the best beaches unfold, while adventure seekers migrate to the more untamed mountainous terrain of the isle’s southern extremities. Calm, gin-clear waters and golden strands line the isle’s Caribbean side, while the rugged, cliff-lined Atlantic shoreline to the east is marked by choppy surf. Also rocky is the island’s history – expect remnants of both the historical French and British colonial regimes to surface in town and city names (like Vieux Fort). Locations rarely have numbers or street names, but most locals can point you in the right direction.
