St. Lucia "The Helen Of The West"
St.
Lucia is the sort of island that traveler 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.
