St. Lucia Supermarket is situated in the main road of St. Lucia tugged in between PEP Store and Lake View Liquor Store. St. Lucia Supermarket supplies freshly baked bread and bread rolls, Fresh Braai meat and the Boere Wors is a very traditional recipe that braai well and taste just as good. For the hungry anglers on the go will find the familiar taste in the huge sausage rolls that made cold long fishing nights in St. Lucia so famous. Stories grandparents tell their heirs about.

St. Lucia was always a fishing village with the very first people roaming the beaches over 600 - 1000 years ago gathering mollusc's and living from the wild banana's growing on the eastern shores. This era was followed with beach huts built on the beach area between the St. Lucia Estuary mouth and the iMfolozi River. Fisherman crossed the swamps on low tide where current day Sugar Loaf camp site is situated and spend a couple of high tides on the beach catching the BIG ones.

Today a very sturdy walk way is built to safely take visitors past the hippo and crocodiles right onto the beach. The Estuary mouth is currently closed due to a prolonged drought, but the fishing on the beach stretching from iMfolozi River mouth to First Rocks is still an experience that legends are made off.
