WHEN TO GO
St. Lucia's subtropical climate is cooled by trade winds, making it comfortable year-round. It's one of the wetter islands (during rainy season, June to November) and has been hit, though not too seriously, by several tropical storms and hurricanes in the past decade. However, there's generally plenty of warning for major storms, and regular rainstorms tend to pass quickly.
HOW TO GET THERE
Hewanorra International Airport is 40 miles south of the capital, Castries, at Vieux-Fort. If you're staying in the north and your hotel doesn't provide transfers, a taxi to Castries or Rodney Bay costs between $50 and $70. Helicopters can also be chartered. George F.L. Charles Inter Island Airport is just outside Castries. All passengers over 12 pay a departure tax of $25 on leaving the island.
