Anse La Raye is a charming fishing village on the west coast of Saint Lucia, just south of Castries. Its main street is lined with brightly painted wooden houses, giving it a postcard-perfect Caribbean feel. The village comes alive every Friday evening for the famous Anse La Raye Fish Fry, where locals and visitors gather to feast on freshly caught grilled fish, lobster, and local sides like breadfruit and plantains, accompanied by live music and dancing. During the day, you can watch fishermen mend their nets or explore the quiet beach and pier. It's a genuine slice of Saint Lucian life, away from the resort crowds.
