Saint Lucia, place by place 1

The island of the Pitons

Saint Lucia is a mountainous volcanic island in the Windward Islands, between Martinique and St Vincent, with about 180,000 people. Rainforest covers its interior, and its emblem is the pair of steep volcanic peaks of the Pitons, rising from the sea near Soufrière in the south-west, a World Heritage Site. It became independent from Britain in 1979, but French place names and Kwéyòl, a French-based creole, recall its long contest between the two powers.

The north-west coast

The camera is on the north-west coast, the busiest part of the island, where the capital, Castries, its cruise port, the marina and beach of Rodney Bay and the village of Gros Islet are strung along the shore. It looks down from a hillside over a small resort and out to the Caribbean.

When to watch Saint Lucia

Saint Lucia keeps Atlantic Standard Time all year, four hours behind UTC. The dry season runs from about December to May; the rainy season, from June to November, is also the hurricane season.
