- We were there only for the day, but after doing some research, I recommend staying at Sugar Beach Resort, Jade Mountain, or Anse Chastanet resort.
NOTES
St. Lucia was one of my favorite ports of call on our caribbean cruise. It’s unlike the typical caribbean island with their expansive, white sandy beaches and turquoise waters. This island is lush and tropical, mountainous with volcanic spires and dark blue water. The marine life is amazing, and the beaches are exotic. We did a snorkeling tour for the day at picture-perfect Jalousie beach near Soufriere Bay. It was great to snorkel at the base of the beautiful Pitons mountains. On our way back to the cruise ship, we encountered some local children who we ended up having an impromptu dance party with on the dock. It was such a great day and I wished I had more time to spend on this beautiful island!
