Press Release Summary = St Lucia more than lives up to the paradisal Caribbean
stereotype with its glorious mix of honey sand beaches, translucent waters
sheltering reefs and it's lush interior rainforests

Press Release Body = Despite the lack of hype, St Lucia offers great tourist
facilities and caters to all budgets, you can stay at luxury hotels or inexpensive
guest houses, dine in world-class restaurants or at roadside kiosks, and shop in
large duty-free malls or at open-air village markets.

St Lucia makes for a relaxed, informal and incredibly friendly place to visit, If
it\'s beaches you prefer, then you\'ll probably head first to the tourism strongholds
of the northwest coast, the \"Golden Mile\" of St Lucia\'s resorts towns.

St Lucia\'s most famous sights - the twin peaks of the Pitons to the south. The
rainforest smothered mountains of the forest reserves are strikingly beautiful and
rich in flora and fauna, while the wild and windswept beach of Grande Anse on the
east coast is where you\'ll catch the moving sight of leatherback turtles nesting in
the sands.

For many visitors St Lucia\'s biggest attraction is its tropical climate. During high
season (December to April), the island is pleasantly hot, with little rain and
constant northeasterly trade winds keeping the nights cool. Temperatures rise even
further during the summer months, which can also be wet: the rainy season lasts from
June to October and the rainy months coincide with the hurricane season , which runs
roughly from late August to October.

The island\'s growing popularity as a holiday destination is due in part to
international airlines which have consistently increased their flight schedules to
the island over the years. During the high season, flights are on a daily basis,
with services only slightly reduced in the low season, check scheduled flights at
