Limin' on Pigeon Island
When you're not grooving to big-name bands, swim at idyllic beaches, explore the jungle environs or picnic next to cool old fort ruins. The myriad rum drink vendors enhance all activities.
Dance, dance, dance
Seek out the festival's zouk and soca bands, then get ready for some serious boogieing. Bring a rag, as they say, especially for soca shows, where the whiplash beats will make you sweat.
Drop by for a jam session
Several Rodney Bay restaurants and bars host free jams where musicians gather in the evening. Anyone can join the note-making, or just listen in.
St. Lucia has two airports:
Hewanorra International Airport (UVF), at the island's southern tip, and George FL Charles Airport (SLU).
