It has an older stone building and a new annex, and rooms in both are air conditioned and comfortably spacious.

All rooms have phones and cable TVs, and some offer sea views from their private balconies. Guests oradea pictures enjoy a freshwater pool, marvelous sunsets over the ocean, and cool night breezes. Meals are excellently prepared with fresh island produce and include vegetarian oradea pictures choices.

Now that a causeway connects Pigeon oradea pictures Point to the main island, the St. Lucia National Trust, 758-452-5005, has restored some of the buildings and developed the entire area into an attractive park. You ll want to allow plenty of time to wander along the winding paths, explore the ruins that are scattered over 44 acres, linger on the two beaches, and visit the museum. You will have wonderful panoramic views from many places inside the park, but one of the most spectacular is the same one English troops oradea pictures had of Martinique from the well-preserved fort at the top of Rodney oradea pictures Hill. From there, you can walk less than a mile up to Signal Peak for another sensational view back at St. Lucia and across both the Atlantic and Caribbean waters.

Morne Trois Pitons means the mountain of three peaks and refers to a relatively young (in geological terms) pile of volcanic rubble with three spike-like pinnacles that reach 4,672 feet within five miles of the ocean. The park that bears its name is not large compared to other sites around the world, but it encompasses a vast area of the island.

Back on the coast highway, heading south from Soufri re, you soon come to Scotts Head. This is one of the prettiest bits of land on the island. A narrow strip of land connects the lively fishing village of Scotts Head with the southernmost promontory tip of the island where Fort Cachacrou once stood. Most of the fort has long ago crumbled and fallen into the ocean, but you can climb to the top of the peninsula for an awesome view in every direction Martinique, 20 miles to the south; the coast of Dominica, to the north; and the meeting of the Atlantic and the Caribbean, to the east.
