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.
