ST lucia or grand cayman

Question

what one should i go to. Are they completly differnt islands? going with a family of 4 there are 2 kids one 14 and one 17 we want adventure great beaches and we want to go diving

Answer 1

I much prefer St. Lucia - it is a beautiful tropical island with great beaches. However, the water is clearer around the Cayman islands (less river silt runs into the ocean because it's much drier). So if diving and snorkeling are your preferences (along with great beaches), Grand Cayman is the better choice.

Answer 2

St. Lucia is THE most beautiful island in the Caribbean. period.

Answer 3

Yes, they are completely different islands. Grand Cayman is smaller, flat and more dry and desolate. St. Lucia is Mountainous and more lush and tropical. Also St. Lucia is cheaper compared to the Caymans. Personally I prefer St. Lucia because there is a lot more to do and see. I think the caymans may be better though for diving.

Answer 4

St Lucia for sure. I used to live in St Maarten, and would go there frequently.

Please if you get a chance, go to the island of Saba. It is very close to St Lucia. It is ranked in the top 10 places in the world for diving. There are no beaches on the island, it is just straight up. There is a rain forest on the top, so you can not dive and do the rain forest in the same 24-48 hrs. But if someone doesn't want to dive, they can do the rain forest hike. Great restaurants and sights to see as well.

Wherever you end up, have fun!
