Summers are the best time when people go on holidays; both families and individuals like to refresh themselves from the boring routine of life. Travel companies offer a number of packages; some are affordable and some are not. People prefer a holiday plan that is enjoyable and affordable.
Among the many most beautiful Caribbean islands, Saint Lucia is a great holiday destination for its luxurious beauty. It is spread on 200 plus square miles on the island. Saint Lucia is highly renowned for the hotels, resorts, tourist trails, parks, and shopping malls; it has so many attractions for the tourists. Almost every year, Saint Lucia gets hundreds and thousands of tourists.
During the peak seasons from December to March, Saint Lucia holidays can be very much expensive. Rents go up to 10 times higher than the off-peak rates, and same is the case with the air fares. Tourists from Europe and North America do not really bother about peak rates or off-peak rates, as they want to get rid of the cold weather of their locations. Tourists should not fail to spot gorgeous sites of Saint Lucia like Castries, Marigot Bay, Pigeon Island, Rodney Bay, Soufrire and Vieux Fort.
Castries is the capital of Saint Lucia, which is one of the most developed parts of the island. The town of Castries has been destroyed by the fire two times and has lost its original architecture. Rebuilding has made an interesting mix of historical architecture and modern buildings. Visitors will find plenty of shopping spots in Castries. At Pointe Seraphine, tourists will find fantastic duty free shops. There are street markets in Castries, where local vendors sell crafts and fruits.
On the south of Castries is a small village of Marigot. It has become very popular for sailing, yachting and for romantic sites. Accommodation is very expensive due to charming surroundings. Marigot Bay has been featured in many movies as well.
The historical site, Pigeon Island, is in the north of Castries. It served as a base for the US military during World War 2. National historic park of the pigeon island is a very famous destination among the tourists. Along with the history, tourists can enjoy the beaches of the Pigeon's Island.
Soufrire is located on the south western coast of Saint Lucia. It is the oldest town in Saint Lucia. If tourists want to have a taste of French colonial architecture then Soufrire is the place to be. The waterfront of this town is very picturesque and draws attention of the tourists. Soufrire has everything, from beautiful beaches to gigantic mountains. For the adventurous travellers, it is the perfect destination.
A visit is must to Vieux Fort for the travellers who are interested in eco-tourism; one of the major attractions to this area is the Maria Islands Nature Reserve. The Reserve is a wonderful place to experience local wildlife as tourists get a chance to see rare species of animals and reptiles of the Caribbean.
