St Lucia Honeymoon Siteseeing Tips Near Soufriere

Black sand beaches are symbolic of the beauty of St Lucia, an isolated and romantic getaway at the far eastern end of the Caribbean Sea, exposed to warm and gentle trade winds from the Atlantic. It’s the perfect place to spend time after St Lucia weddings.

Soufrière, the old capital of St Lucia, is close to beaches that require hiking down a mountainside along twisting paths through cool, lush rainforest. The relative remoteness of beaches near Soufrière means the area is a perfect secluded spot to spend a honeymoon.

Following a day spent in relaxation and privacy during a St Lucia Honeymoon on the beach, many visitors like to return to Soufrière for dinner or drinks. There are several tourist attractions nearby, including historical Ft Charlotte. Mourne Coubaril Estate, a working farm that grows cocoa and coconuts, is open to the public. The site features a re-created farmworkers village, and Daniel’s Ark is a new attraction at Mourne Coubaril suitable for children as well as adults.

Also close to Soufrière are the Daimon Botanical Gardens, which offer rainforest walks and waterfalls, a nature trail, as well as fine dining and a spa with mineral baths.
