Laborie St Lucia
Laborie, Saint Lucia
Laborie is a district in the southern tip of Saint Lucia. Laborie town, a quaint fishing village overlooking Laborie Bay, is home to many of Saint Lucia’s local residents.
The bay, sheltered by row upon row of palm trees, makes for excellent swimming and snorkelling, although there are other activities available, like horse riding, sailing, or trekking. The verdant fields that surround Laborie grow some of the most representative fruits and plants of Saint Lucia, including the exotic breadfruit, pigeon peas, green figs, and the ubiquitous sea moss used to prepare the delicious Saint Lucian punch. Laborie is well communicated with the rest of Saint Lucia. The lively village of Port Vieux is only a few minutes away, and getting to the capital or to any of the local airports can be easily arranged from Laborie.
