Pro Tips

Insider Knowledge for St. Lucia

1

The Pitons (volcanic plugs) tower over the most dramatic anchorage in the Caribbean — Soufriere Bay, directly below Gros Piton. The Piton Marine Management Area requires you to take a mooring (no anchoring on coral). The Soufriere Drive-In Volcano (world's only 'drive-in volcano') and Diamond Botanical Garden are excellent shore excursions.
