St Lucia lies at latitude 13 54’ north of the Equator and 60 50’ west. One of the Windward Islands, it is located in the middle of the Eastern Caribbean chain of islands and is approximately 21 miles south of Martinique and 90 miles northwest of Barbados.
St. Lucia (Loo-sha) is one of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean (Lesser Antilles), with some of its finest resorts. The heaviest tourist development is concentrated in the northwest, between the capital, Castries, and the northern end of the island, where there's a string of white-sand beaches.

The rest of St. Lucia remains relatively unspoiled, a checkerboard of green-mantled mountains, valleys, banana plantations, a bubbling volcano, wild orchids, and fishing villages. The island has a mixed French and British heritage, but there's a hint of the South Pacific about it as well.

St.Lucia Is a former Brittish territory that was located in the Britsh West Indies & a former French territory that was located in the French West Indies. 

A mountainous island of some 623 sq. km (243 sq. miles), St. Lucia has about 160,000 inhabitants. The capital, Castries, is built on the southern shore of a large harbor surrounded by hills.

U.S. Department of State St.Lucia Information:

Soaring green mountains that seem to splash down into an emerald-green sea. Once you’ve gazed at the world famous peaks of Gros Piton and Petit Piton, you won’t be able to tear your eyes away. These majestic cones offer a glimpse into the volcanic origins of St. Lucia (Lesser Antilles), a tantalizing taste of the dynamic forces that formed this beautiful Romantic island and that animate her still to this day. Hints of St. Lucia’s fiery nature can be found in the exotic dark sand that covers some of St. Lucia’s many alluring beaches and in the warm sulfur springs that bubble up from deep within the earth. Here you can bathe and take advantage of the soothing waters that have even been rumored to have a therapeutic effect. Those with more adventurous spirits can get as close as you’d ever want to nature’s explosive power with the world’s only “drive-in volcano.” Just another sign that, when you visit St. Lucia, you are entering a universe unlike any other.

Tourism is vital to St. Lucia's economy and the economic importance of such is expected to continue to increase as the market for bananas becomes more competitive. Tourism tends to be more substantial during the dry season (January to April). St Lucia tends to be popular due to its tropical weather and scenery and its large number of beaches and resorts.

Other tourist attractions include the world's only drive-in volcano, Sulfur Springs (at Soufriere), the Botanical Gardens, the rain forests and Pigeon Island National Park, which is home to Fort Rodney, an old British military base.

The majority of tourists visit St. Lucia as part of a cruise. Most of their time tends to be spent in Castries, although Soufriere, Marigot Bay and Gros Islet are popular locations to visit. Marigot Bay is where second homes to some stars like George Foreman and Mick Jagger are situated.
