The island s Arts and Crafts Development Center in Choiseul is a good place to buy handwoven placemats and baskets as well as wood carvings. There are more potholes than road, but it s worth the ride the views of the Pitons are spectacular and the beach is lovely. The beach at Anse Chastanet Hotel, just north of Soufriere, is one of the best places to snorkel and dive in the Caribbean. You must be a certified diver and present your C card to rent equipment and go diving. You may find a supervised resort course dive check locally.
Lunch is served, and drinks and snorkel gear are included.
The only golf course open to the public on St. Lucia is at the northern end of the island near Rodney Bay. Cap Estate Golf Club has a nine-hole course and a driving range, as well as great views. But take time to get a closer look at these cone-shaped behemoths. Also near Soufriere is the drive-in volcano, part of Sulphur Springs , which proves that St. Lucia s inner soul is still venting and fuming. For a look at hundreds of blooms and a luscious waterfall, stop at Diamond Falls and Botanical Gardens , just outside Soufriere.
