St. Lucia The Jewel of The Elephant Coast
St. Lucia is tucked in between the Indian Ocean and the St. Lucia Estuary, and is as the only private town in the world, completely surrounded by a World Heritage Site, the iSimangaliso Wetland Park.
Because of this unique location, the town's economy is primary based on tourism.
St. Lucia has more than 300 sun-filled days a year and the Indian Ocean is warm all year. Often the winter in St. Lucia has been compared to a good summer in northern Europe.
The town has all necessary facilities to make your stay comfortable. There are a dozen restaurants, supermarkets, filling stations, beach and fishing tackle shops, hairdresser, post office and the popular fruit, vegetable and craft Market, all centrally placed in town within walking distance.
St. Lucia, with its golden beaches, the highest vegetated dunes in Africa and the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, is undoubted the jewel of the Elephant Coast, and has a host of exiting features on offer to its visitors: Abundance of wildlife, hippos, leopards, buck, warthogs, monkeys and squirrels.
"The St. Lucia Wetland Park must be the only place on the globe where the world's oldest land mammal (rhino) and the world's biggest terrestrial mammal (elephant) share an ecosystem with the world's oldest fish (coelacanth) and the world's biggest mammal (whale)"
