The Barre de l Isle Trail is a rigorous hike along the barre, or ridge, that divides the eastern and western parts of the Central Forest Reserve, which covers the middle of the island. Expect to spend an hour or two on the 2km/1.2m (one way) trail, and another couple of hours if you choose to climb 438m/1,437f Morne La Combe. It s a good use of a full morning. There are fantastic views at four observation points along the ridge, and you have a fair chance of spotting a St. Lucian parrot. syr airport From the top of La Combe, you can see 950m/3,116f Mount Gimie and both the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. syr airport

Hurricane David damaged much of the waterfront in 1979, and provided an ideal opportunity for the city to clean up and update. A seawall now reduces the chance of future storm damage, and land in front of it has been reclaimed, beautified, and given a snappy name Bay Front.In addition, a new jetty has been built to replace the old one and provide facilities for small boats and ferry services.
