Facts about Castries:
One of the major tourist areas in St. Lucia, Castries is a port of call for cruise ships. Cruise ships dock at Pointe Seraphine, to the north of the harbour which is also a duty free shopping centre. A taxi service is readily available to take you on tours of the rest of the country or the city. There is also a water taxi available to take you from there to the city as well.
The greatest concentration of hotels, resorts, and restaurants are near Castries and the island’s other main towns, Gros Islet, Soufrière, and Rodney Bay.
The city maintains three tourist offices, and one in the airport. There are also many duty free shops within the town itself and several restaurants.
One of the major draws for tourists to St. Lucia is its beaches, and there are several in or very near Castries. Vigie Beach, Malabar Beach, Choc Beach, and La Toc Beach are all within easy reach.
