A few miles to the north is Martinique, to the south St. Vincent from which you can do, route south, the whole tour of the Grenadines or get to Barbados. The island of St. Lucia, long disputed between France and England (many toponyms are still in French today), then became a British colony before gaining independence in 1979. Today, 165,000 inhabitants populate the slightly larger island. of Ibiza, scattered around various villages and the capital Castries.
Catamaran in S. Lucia means sailing in calm waters, pushed by the trade winds, in a warm to warm climate, optimal in the dry season (from mid-November to May). Avoid only the central months of the rainy season (July to October), when tropical hurricanes can be triggered. The landscapes are postcard-worthy: pristine bays where you can anchor for a swim in the crystal clear waters, surrounded by green vegetation. Or stop in front of a golden beach lined with coconut palms and sip a cocktail of local rum. Relaxation, sailing, water sports, but also walks and hikes in the hinterland led by local operators.
