August: St. Lucia
You don’t have to look any further than St. Lucia to unwind in an exotic tropical paradise. This island’s decades-old tourist industry is well-developed yet not overdone. It also doesn’t have the hustle and bustle of its Caribbean neighbors.
You can spend August satisfying your sweet tooth because you’ve hit the jackpot with St. Lucia’s Chocolate Heritage Month. This island produces some of the world’s most sought-after chocolate. In fact, a third of it is used in treats made by Hershey’s.
Choose to stay at The Landings Resort and Spa, where the 70 privately owned, airy, and luxurious bedroom suites are elegantly appointed and have sufficient room for families.
August is also the perfect month to visit to view coral spawning: The once-a-year occurrence is among nature’s most astonishing and rare performances.
Visitors staying at Anse Chastanet in St. Lucia at the end of August can see this marvel because the natural wonder occurs right off the resort’s private beaches.
Schools start soon. But while others prepare for chaos, you’re busy packing for September’s beach vacation!
