St. Lucia is
the sort of island that travellers to the Caribbean dream about--a small,
lush tropical gem that is still relatively unknown. One of the Windward
Islands of the Lesser Antilles, it is located midway down the Eastern
Caribbean chain, between Martinique and St. Vincent, and north of
Barbados. St. Lucia is only 27 miles long and 14 miles wide, with a shape
that is said to resemble either a mango or an avocado (depending on your
taste). The Atlantic Ocean kisses its eastern shore, while the beaches of
the west coast owe their beauty to the calm Caribbean Sea.
