Saint Lucia
Pitons island country
Saint Lucia is an island nation in the eastern Caribbean, part of the Lesser Antilles.
Known for its volcanic peaks, particularly the Pitons, and its tropical beaches.
The island was contested between French and British colonial powers, leaving influences from both cultures.
We spent our honeymoon in Saint Lucia.
