A spate of resort developments on
St Lucia has made this high, green island one of the Caribbean's fashionable package-tour destinations, but it's still a long
way from being sanitized and overdeveloped. Bananas are still bigger business than tourism in this archetypal island
paradise.
The western shores of St Lucia are a
mighty fine place to be from February to April when the rain eases off. At this time you can expect daily highs around
the 84°F mark with conditions getting only slightly hotter but much wetter the rest of the year.
