The best time to visit St. Lucia’s beaches
St. Lucia is a great idea year-round if you’re here to relax on the beach for a few days. The temps rarely dip below the mid-70s; St. Lucia’s rainy season is from June to November, but the showers rarely last long. If you’re looking to enjoy St. Lucia’s culture, Alfred recommends visiting during one of St. Lucia’s special events.
“We offer so many things throughout the year,” she says. “We celebrate our independence in February, there’s the Jazz Festival in May, and Carnival in July. Also, if you visit in October, we have our Creole Heritage Month.”
The Saint Lucia Jazz & Arts Festival is one of the premier events on the island. The 10-day festival takes place at various venues across the island, and past headliners include Mary J. Blige, Elton John, and Patti Labelle. In July, the St. Lucia Carnival draws crowds of locals and visitors to Gros Islet to the main event, the Carnival parade, but the three-week festival also includes day parties, concerts, and a Carnival Queen Pageant around Castries and Rodney Bay. Visitors can celebrate Creole Month in October with island-wide music and dance performances, which ends with Jounen Creole, or Creole Day, on the last Sunday of the month.
And while St. Lucia’s beaches are beautiful, don’t forget to explore its other outdoor wonders.
“We have a bunch of beautiful waterfalls in St. Lucia,” Alfred tells Afar. “Many people are familiar with Diamond Waterfalls, but we also have the lesser-known New Jerusalem Mineral Baths in Soufriere.”
