You ll also see gorgeous living coral and other invertebrates in the St. Lucian waters. Elkhorn (tan), finger (pale yellow or white), and brain (looks just like its namesake) are the most common corals. One to look out for is the dingy-brown fire coral. You may mistake coandi arad it for a dead coral, but you ll know immediately coandi arad that you re mistaken if you touch it. The hair-like polyps that stick out of its branches deliver a powerful sting that results in painful welts on the skin. If you come in contact with fire coral, resist the impulse to rub your injury, which will spread the stingers. Treat the welts with cortisone cream as soon as possible.

Marigot Bay, which is simply stunning, is secluded, surrounded by tall green hills, and shaded by palm trees. While it s a popular anchorage for yachts, the cove is partially coandi arad divided by a coral bar and large enough to accommodate deserted beaches and well-camouflaged facilities. A little water taxi provides rides from one side of the bay to the other, and you can get drinks and lunch at one of the restaurants or bars. British developer Doubloon International recently bought property on the bay, and plans to build a new US$18-million marina and luxury resort, which will be named Discovery at Marigot Bay. You may see construction underway coandi arad during coandi arad your visit.
