The best time to visit Saint Lucia

Saint Lucia, like Helen of Troy from Greek mythology, is breathtakingly gorgeous. With only a first sight, the island has captured the hearts of countless people in the past and present. The island is green, beautiful, and abundant, with a history marked by a tug of war between the French and the British over command of the island's major fort, Morne Fortune. Whoever had control of the Fort had the power over the entire island.

People nowadays talk less about previous struggles and more about how far a now-independent Saint Lucia has progressed to become one of the world's most popular Caribbean getaways. If you are considering a trip to Saint Lucia, you should be aware of what to avoid while on the island's coastlines, as well as when to visit for the best weather.

There are two seasons in Saint Lucia: wet and dry. The high season, which runs from mid-December to mid-April, is the best time to visit Saint Lucia. This is the time of year when the sun shines the brightest. If you are seeking a more laid-back feel, the "wet" season, which runs from June through November, is a good choice. Often, you will be able to discover cheaper lodging.
