About Castries
Castries is the capital and main port of Saint Lucia, a lush volcanic island in the eastern Caribbean. The harbor is one of the best natural deep-water harbors in the Caribbean, capable of handling large cruise ships at the downtown pier. Excursions from Castries typically head south toward the iconic twin Piton mountains, drive-in volcano, sulfur springs, and scenic rainforest interior.
