Rules in force · 6Morne Fortune is steep and has no pavement in places
  • Saint Lucia ↗Check entry rules for your passport on official Saint Lucia government sources before you fly.
  • Saint Lucia ↗Camouflage-pattern clothing is illegal for civilians: leave it at home.
  • Saint Lucia ↗Check which airport your flight uses: long-haul flights land at Hewanorra (UVF) in the south, regional ones at George F. L. Charles (SLU) in Castries.
  • The north (Rodney Bay, Gros Islet, Castries) ↗June to November is hurricane season with the peak in August to October: buy flexible fares and insurance that covers storm cancellations.
  • Castries ↗Castries is very quiet on Sunday: the market and most shops are closed. Do the town on Saturday morning, or Monday to Friday.
  • Castries ↗Morne Fortune is steep and has no pavement in places: go by taxi, not on foot.
