Vir ander gebruike van die term St. Lucia, sien asb. St. Lucia (dubbelsinnig)

Die St. Luciameer is ongeveer 60 tot 100 miljoen jaar gelede in die Kryt-tydperk gevorm toe die Indiese Oseaan begin wyk het van wat vandag die sanderige kusvlaktes van KwaZulu-Natal is. Riviere soos die Mkuze moes 'n nuwe loop deur sandvlaktes van sowat 100 km na die see vind, terwyl panne en leegtes met óf seewater óf vars water of albei gevul is. Die meer is 40 km lank, 10 km breed en gemiddeld 1 m diep.
