When was the last time you went out for a casual drive and ended up inside a volcano? A surreal scenario comes to life at La Soufrière, one of the most popular attractions in St. Lucia. Pack your skin with the medicinal mud of Sulfur Springs for a DIY spa treatment. Continue your eruptive adventures with a guided hike of the two volcanic plugs known as the Pitons then ascend Morne Fortune to take in the sweeping views.

Choiseul Art Gallery has a range of oil paintings of the St. Lucian landscape, prints and greetings cards as well as a variety of locally made crafts and souveniers.

We came here after mistakenly thinking that the best place to go was the Choiseul Art and Craft Centre (big mistake). The Art Gallery is privately owned by Hattie Barnard and her husband and much of the work exhibited there is by Hattie herself - unique and hand made pieces including bowls, mats, jewellery, paintings, made from found materials, calabash shells/pods, wood, recycled paper and many more including at least two books Hattie has written - and high-quality pieces they are too. So too are the pieces they exhibit that are made from local people on the island - again made from wood, palm leaves, and much more. Really sadly we were heading home later that day, travelling handluggage only, so there was little chance of us taking any with us. A shame. The pieces are not cheap, but as Hattie told us herself, every single piece is unique and that's what you pay for. She gave us a personalised and really detailed tour round the gallery and for those with the interest and the time this is a brilliant and unusual place to visit.

A yachtsman's haven, this picturesque bay has been used for background shots in many Hollywood films such as Dr. Doolittle and Fire Power.

Please conserve this beautiful beach. We only spent a few minutes here with our catamaran tour, but enough to enjoy the beauty. I hope this beautiful beach is kept for many generations to come

An old sugar plantation with a knot of bike trails along the estate.

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.

Reviewed By Allrre - St. Lucia, Caribbean
The black sand beach is one of the best beach when it comes to the positive energy one feels when relaxing cause the positive vibes comes from the Soufriere drive in volcano also the reef and its marine life is the best in St Lucia and by far the Caribbean

Reviewed By Yolk - Toronto, Canada
I stayed at the Coconut Bay resort so did a hike to this place one afternoon, The road is steep at times but good all the way so not too hard. Just take enough water - or drive to save time. Note that the road forks near the end, one path leads to the lighthouse itself, the other - to another hill behind it. Both spots offer great vistas, one is better for viewing the bay and the ocean, the other - to look at the island. There are some nice viewpoints on the way too so if you are driving you might want to stop for a pic or two.

Great place. Secluded and enchanting. Note - the little shack where the trail starts (mentioned by other posters) is no longer there. Fairly easy to find the trail head though - it’s about a quarter/half mile past the Treetop Adventure entrance on the left.

What a welcoming group of parishioners! We arrived 40 minutes before worship started. People coming in, greeting one another all while the rosary is being recited. As the bells ring calling all to Mass, someone saw that we didn’t have a missal or hymnal and gave us theirs. Wonderful music, choir, and worshiper voices. A great place to praise and thank God for the many gifts he sends our way. The photo I am including was taken shortly after we arrived. The church was full by the time Mass began at 7:30 am. 2 hours later, having shook many hands and enjoyed many hugs and a meaningful sermon and reception of our Lord, we left loving this island and it’s people.
