Intro
I’m so excited to finally share with all of you some images and stories from our time in St. Lucia. We spent seven sun-drenched days on the island eating our way up and down the coast. I came home with bright red skin and a desire to have more coconut, fish, and rum punch in my life. Also, sun. I dream of that sun.
For now I have a few images to show you (there are more, hundreds more). If you head over to the Seafood Spot you can read about some of our meals and adventures on the island. There will be much more to come.
It didn’t take long for us to learn that water taxi was our preferred method of travel. Given the option of hot taxi speeding through narrow and often barely-paved roads or brightly colored boat gliding through the turquoise Caribbean sea I will always choose the sea.
The waters surrounding the island are teeming with sea life. We tried our hand at fishing (deep-sea) with no luck but the many fisherman we ran into had boats filled with fresh fish. They must not have been sharing all their secrets.
This is an image I return to when the rain pelts our windows at home and the gray days seem never-ending.

It looks like a dream place!!!
St. Lucia is Magical…I live in Barbados a neighbouring island…you should make a stop there next time!
Kimberly – yes please! I do hope I get the chance to return. So much more exploring to do.
we’ve been debating whether or not to go to st. lucia on vacation and your pictures are really selling me on this vacation spot now! it looks so beautiful
Ana – It’s beautiful. I learned so much about traveling in St. Lucia while there – things I wish I would have known prior to traveling. Please feel free to contact me through the site if you want to talk about it some more.
What a beautiful holiday. I’ve been to the Caribbean 3 times but never St. Lucia. I will rectify that soon.
Maureen – Where have you been? I’m so curious as to how the islands differ from one another.
Beautiful and so colorful!
Looks so gorgeous! It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to visit anywhere tropicial – St. Lucia is definitely making my list!
Amazing photos! I’m sitting here in the Pacific Northwest, looking out my window and another gray rainy day. Now I’m fantasizing about St Lucia! I can’t wait to read more about it.
Robin – ah yes, I’m in the PNW too hence the reason why I needed some sun on the blog today.
The photos are so beautiful! I love the rainbow in the last photo. I can imagine how hard it was to leave.
what gorgeous photos! looks positively dreamy…
I love St.Lucia! My husband had taken me there to propose to me and we had just an amazing time! I love that island. I’ve been to many islands but this one is one of my favorites! So beautiful with a lot to do! I have to go back now and look at my pics from our trip 🙂
I want to be there now….looks utterly incredible!
It looks amazing!
i ache to go there- now that i have seen these pics! beautiful! seriously, that water is so blue it hurts.
I LOVE St. Lucia! Chris and I went there on our honeymoon. It was spectacular and so beautiful. We too ate and drank our way through that trip. Your photos made me miss it, I really hope to get back there someday soon!
Love those photos especially the fish ones! The Sea Cuisine site was worth looking over and enjoyed your article on their site as well. Thanks.
St. Lucia is a wonderful place to visit, especially if you get out and about the countryside.
so pretty! Nothing beats the blue of the sea!
Oh man I want to go too! I have a friend who just moved there in December and has been homesick but sharing her journey on a blog. I looks so beautiful. I love you photographs of it, the boat one is great as is the yellow fish.
Oh my goodness! The colours! What a perfect kaleidoscope of images. Oh how I wish I were on holidays there…
those images of yours warm my heart! I love the colours of the fishes ()sometimes I feel bad to eat them)…and how I love the Caribbean too:-) just back from the paradise les Saintes (between Dominica and Guadeloupe) 10 days ago….
Wow, Ashley! Beautiful photography! Your reccomendations for our trip were spot on! We had a great time. I think Boucan at Hotel Chocolat was definitely a highlight meal of the trip 🙂 We loved exploring the island – by land & sea. A magical place indeed!
Such gorgeous photos! Looks like a wonderful trip.
LOVE these ashley! So jealous, St Lucia is a must go to on our list 🙂 especially love the fish shots!
St Lucia is on my list…where did you stay?
xoxo from the Houston airport…almost home
These are beautiful. I shared this post with my friend margareta who is from st. lucia…her grandmother is a national treasure there, (folk artist), I hope I didn’t make her too homesick!
Oh my, paradise does exist 😉
Amazing photos! i love the scenery!
