St Lucia is a bustling little town offering visitors myriad activities day and night. This holiday destination lies between the Indian Ocean and the lower reaches of Lake St. Lucia. Survivors of the Portuguese vessel, the St. Benedict named the area ‘Rio de la Medaos do Oura’ – River of the dhows of Gold, because of its pristine beaches and golden sand dunes. On the day of the Feast of Saint Lucy – 13 December 1575, Manual Peresterello renamed the area, St. Lucia.
