Things to do in Soufriere, Soufriere Quarter: The Best Sights & Landmarks
Soufriere's backdrop of the Pitons, sea and rainforest provides a picture perfect setting for a visit to this laid-back and relatively undeveloped town in the south of St. Lucia. Considering that its name is French for "sulphur," it should be no surprise to discover the wealth of hot springs and mineral baths. Other great spots to visit include Diamond Botanical Gardens, a slew of pretty beaches and the bike trails that wind through sugar plantation Anse Mamin. Rent a car to see the town.

Paul has a little slice of Heaven on a secluded beach that has zero tourists- just locals and travelers interested in authentic cultural experiences. We learned so much from Paul- he showed us how to cook a traditional meal using vegetables he grew on his farm. He told us abt the history of the island, the slave trade, his ancestors and how they taught him abt medicinal plants and Caribbean cooking. He gave us a tour of his farm and the forest but we still had plenty of time to just relax on the beach. We felt like we experienced the real St Lucia for a day- it was the highlight of our trip!

We took a day trip to Anse Mamin from our resort (Ladera) via pre-arranged water taxi. We paid the $36 for two chairs under an umbrella on the visitor side of the beach (the other side is reserved for resort guests), and enjoyed our day tremendously. The snorkling was good (and uncrowded early) and the whole atmosphere was enjoyable. The burgers served by a lovely little on-beach restaurant were SO good. All in all, it's well worth a day!

An imposing Catholic Church looming over the Soufrière town square.
Reviewed By Journey608481 - Royersford, United States
Went to 8:30AM Sunday Mass. The congregation was warm and welcoming. The bishop was even there when we visited, which was a special thing for us. People dressed in their Sunday best like we used to when I was a kid, so I was glad that I had planned ahead and packed a long sundress and light scarf that I opened up to cover my shoulders like a shawl. The Mass was beautiful and I would love to return with my children, to share the experience with them.

On this historic and educational tour, our knowledgeable guides take you on a journey of French Kings, chocolate, and organic fruits and vegetables.

You are then led to the Cocoa Fermentation House to see the beginning of the chocolate making process, the drying trays and the cocoa – rina dance. Next your guide takes you around the resort trails, passing under the tropical canopy of almond, nutmeg, cocoa, and palm trees. The many varieties of flowers include Pagoda, White Star Jasmine, and Lobster Claws, the latter of which features cup-like petals that collect rainwater, making them popular with the many Hummingbirds of Fond Doux Plantation & Resort.
