Tropical cocktails at an oceanfront bar Anse Chastanet Reef 4:44 PM 3:45 PM Not all adventures on St. Lucia require quite so much cardio; in fact, plenty are downright relaxing! At the Sulphur Springs Park, for example — the Caribbean’s only “drive-in volcano” — you can wander the park to admire the steaming pits of mud, craters and rivers of sulphuric water. Recover from your Piton hike by soaking in the volcanic waters and getting painted in mineral-rich mud. Being the tropical play-land it is, St. Lucia is a magical place to go swimming, snorkeling and sailing with your beloved. Best of all, these pursuits are easy to engage in and do not require massive amounts of time. The Anse Chastanet reef, for example, begins just 10 yards from the water’s edge, so you can head right out into this incredible marine ecosystem and view more than 150 different species of fish. 8:36 PM 6:30 PM Wander back to your side of the island for a romantic dinner at Cliff at Cap, a world-renowned restaurant set on a rocky bluff with stunning views across the ocean to the neighboring island of Martinique. After an appetizer of spiny lobster ravioli followed by cinnamon-roasted beef mignon, pass on dessert … for now. Walk a few yards down from the restaurant to find The Naked Fisherman Beach Bar & Grill, a cozy establishment nestled on a natural cove. With the lapping waves breaking just a few feet from your table, share a bowl of salted caramel gelato while sipping a spicy mango specialty cocktail made with local rum, mango purée and homemade jalapeno syrup.
