Things to Do in Saint Lucia

Beaches and Resorts

Saint Lucia is a top destination for Anglo-Saxon beach tourism in the Caribbean. Whether in the north (Rodney Bay...) or the southwest (Choiseul, La Soufrière), you can enjoy its stunning white-sand or volcanic beaches along with all the associated activities. In short, beach resort lovers and those seeking a relaxing seaside holiday should find plenty to enjoy here, especially since the water is always at a pleasant temperature.

Diving

Sailing

Water Sports

Thanks to the wind and infrastructure, particularly around Rodney Bay and Marigot, all kinds of water sports and gliding activities are possible (windsurfing, kiteboarding, kayaking, etc.). However, surfing is not available.

Spa and Wellness

As is often the case in tourist destinations with high-end or all-inclusive hotels, some establishments offer wellness services open to both their guests and external visitors. Additionally, the island, with the Soufrière volcano, has natural hot springs with therapeutic benefits.

Hiking

Hiking Trails

While not a destination for serious hikers, Saint Lucia offers some beautiful trails for all levels, thanks to a well-maintained network. These relatively short walks allow you to explore the island’s interior, with its hills, forests, waterfalls, rivers, and stunning viewpoints. Of all the routes, the hike to Gros Piton (a UNESCO-listed site) is the most popular.

Note that access to hiking trails is usually paid (25 EC$), but this often includes a guide who explains the site and the walk (though you can do it alone).

Cycling

Horseback Riding

There are two equestrian centers on the island offering rides along the coast or inland.

Outdoor and Adventure Sports

Deep-Sea Fishing

Golf

Other Activities

There are two or three zip-lining sites on the island.

Cultural Life and Activities

Nightlife and Entertainment

The resort of Rodney Bay is where nightlife lovers will find the most options. On weekends, the area attracts far more than just locals and tourists—many Martinicans also come to party.
