St Lucia is known for its twin Pitons ; Petit Piton and Gros Piton and for excellent reasons. These 2 volcanic mounds tower over St Lucia awash with bright green foliage and are far more than 2,500 ft above sea level. The island has a thick coating of tropical forest stuffed with a spread of exotic plants and flowers and birds.

One of which, the St Lucia Parrot, is a species original to St Lucia and is its countrywide bird. There are great orchards in the north of the island growing bananas, coconuts, mango and papaya. St Lucia is also home to the planet's only drive-through volcano, where thick pools of lava bubbles on the surface and the hint of sulphur is thick in the air. Made when a volcanic dome collapsed, the crater is full of mineral deposits, effervescent pools and steamy vents. If the bubbles get you craving a Jacuzzi, try the mineral baths just outside of Soufriere.

The Diamond Botanical Gardens, Waterfall, Mineral Baths and Nature Trail is a traveler complicated where you can walk thru the stunning gardens commissioned by King Louis XIV and wash in the mineral rich waters of the baths fed by sulphur streams. The waterfall and nature walk are the ultimate way to enjoy your newly revitalized body and the surroundings are simply pretty. Another clue to St Lucia's volcanic past is the black beaches that swathe parts of the island. There are sumptuously soft white sand beaches which are good for sunbathers but the black ones are definitely the more exotic of the 2. With rougher grains they are not as soft as their white opposite numbers and due to their dark color they do collect heat a lot quicker so be wary of burnt feet, but the complete strangeness implies a great photograph and engaging story to tell the people back home.

Another place definitely worth a visit is Pigeon Island ; the whole island is protected as the Pigeon Island Countrywide Park and leads to a great day excursion. On the island you can see the remains of a Brit armed forces settlement made under Admiral George Rodney including Fort Rodney and some barracks.

Pigeon Island is attached to St Lucia by a sandy causeway and is often called Pigeon Point as, thanks to the causeway, it's not truly an island any more. So if you're trying to find a Caribbean island with a little individual skill, try St Lucia vacations and spend you days lounging on the beach, snorkeling, driving thru a volcano and trekking thru the rain forest.
