Soufriere

This tiny waterfront town on Saint Lucia's west coast, Soufrière sits below mountain terrain near UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region and offers an unusually dense spread of cafés, restaurants, and churches for a settlement its size. Originally colonized by the French, it served as the island's first capital — a history that still shapes its character.
