Untamed and Inspiring

In Vieux Fort, St.Lucia, you may miss participating in the exhilarating ritual morning race for a beach lounger. It is also doubtful that you will come across that characteristic smell of chlorine which so many of us associate with happy holiday memories of days spent by the hotel pool. Finally, you may have to temporarily forego the pleasure of boogying the night away in an air-conditioned disco. Then again, if you´re ready to explore something untamed, the wild natural beauty and innocent enjoyment of freedom found in St. Lucia may be just the kind of original Caribbean experience you need.

At Anse de Sable (Sandy Beach) in Vieux Fort, early monrning light may see a leatherback turtle scurry back into the blue water of the Atlantic Ocean after having laid her eggs.

At noon, the air is thick with the cries of scantily-dressed boys playing football or cricket with a coconut branch and a tennis ball.

And the sun sets on Rastafarians riding bare-back on their small, tough Creole horses in the rolling surf while in the distance, fishing canoes bring home the day´s catch.

Night time sees twinkling lights in every rum shop around the island and the excited shouts of men playing dominoes.

Oh, and by the way . Anse de Sable is God´s Own Bay when it comes to windsurfing and kitesurfing.

. St.Lucia's largest beach
. White sand, no rocks, reefs or dangerous currents
. An almost closed bay
. Steady sideshore winds
