Wedding Destinations: St. LuciaDescription of St. Lucia The beauty of this island invites comparisons to Tahiti and Fiji. The two Pitons, twin peaks of dormant volcanoes, rise over 2,000 feet above the sea. Interior mountains are covered by forest, surrounded by banana plantations and ringed by coastal fishing villages. Its northern beaches and resorts are the equal to those on other islands for beauty and variety. The scenery from the south side of the island compares to no other Caribbean island. Dark volcanic sands provide unusual seascapes. The majority of the larger resort-style hotels and the best beaches are located near and north of Castries. Hotels in the south end are distinctively located in rain forest, high above coves or right under the Pitons. The sand beaches are volcanic in nature and gray in color. Roads through the Pitons and along the coasts can be treacherous, however many clients might fare better on jeep tours or catamaran trips along the coast.
