Safety
Saint Lucia is not a very dangerous place, but in the past few years, the incidence of homicide, rape and robbery has risen sharply. You should be as careful as at home. You should also live in groups as much as possible and be careful in any secluded places. Robbery with a gun in the water has become an increasingly common crime, so you must hide your valuables. There are pickpockets in every country-be careful in crowded areas.
If you are not a soldier, it is illegal to use a camouflage bag in Saint Lucia. If you show up at the airport with one, it will be confiscated.
Street vendors are significantly less aggressive than most Caribbean countries. A simple "no thanks" is enough.
Some locals will offer gifts when you stop, but don't be too naive-they want to be rewarded, so either refuse the gift the first time, or be prepared to pay $1 or $2 for the "gift" provided. These people are poor and the unemployment rate is high, so tourists are often the only way for them to make money.
Driving may be fun, but you should be a confident driver, because driving is on the left, the road can be narrow, steep, and in harsh conditions. If you decide to venture into the mountains, you need a 4x4 or similar high-clearance vehicle. There is only one main road, so it is difficult to get lost, but if you really get lost, the locals will help you find the way.
Sex between men is illegal and can be punishable by up to 10 years in prison, but it is not clear how strict this rule is. Gay travelers should be safer here than in Jamaica. However, it is wise to be cautious, and expressing love openly may invite hostility. There is no law that specifically prohibits lesbians.
