8 Things to Do in St. Lucia That Are Off the Beaten Path

Gros Islet holds a Friday night street party where you can dance to Caribbean jams, sip on a rum punch, and mingle with the locals at this vibrant community event. Food stalls line the street and provide a great sampling of flavorful fish, various seafood, and other local dishes. The music can get a little loud, and the later it gets, the more people tend to arrive (it ends at 2 a.m.) so make sure to go with a local to help navigate the crowd. Think of it as a club in the middle of the street where you're able to eat fish on a stick as you dance the night away. Sign me up.
