Strict Ban on Camouflage Clothing
As in other countries of the Caribbean Commonwealth, in Saint Lucia it is strictly prohibited by law for civilians (including children and tourists) to wear clothing, pants, caps or backpacks with a military camouflage print. Customs police will confiscate these items upon arrival at Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) or George F. L. Charles (SLU).
Driving on the Left and Mountain Roads
It drives on the left side. To rent a car you need to obtain a temporary Saint Lucia driving permit (provided by the rental agency). The roads between Castries and Soufrière cross mountains with steep slopes, sharp bends and ravines, so it is recommended to drive with caution or use boat 'water taxi' services between the north and south.
Currency and Payments (East Caribbean Dollar and USD)
The official currency is the East Caribbean Dollar (XCD), with a fixed exchange rate linked to the US Dollar (1 USD ≈ 2.70 XCD). US dollars in cash are widely accepted throughout the island (in taxis, restaurants, and on tours), although change is usually returned in local currency. Credit cards are accepted in hotels, restaurants and diving centers.
