 This is about all you need. by maartenw
Lightweight and airy are the key clothing characteristics. Long sleeves for after sunset. Good solid shoes if you plan a hiking trip in the rainforest. Good pair of sunglasses. A hat is recommended.
Mosquitto repellent for the evenings.
Sun block.
Snorkel gear!

Shorts, short-sleeved shirts, sandals. Sturdy walking shoes if you plan to hike in the rain forest. BATHING SUITS. This is a very warm, humid island. It's highly unlikely you'll need a jacket during your stay.
Sunscreen and mosquito repellent.
Your favorite camera. Leave a Comment

During the rainy season perhaps an extra Tshirt to change into. Some good walking shoes if you intend to go into the rain forest as you climb up and down and it can get very slippery
The usual things you would take with you. If you get seasick some seasick tablets. Plenty of suntan lotion to protect your skin from the blazing sunshine. Remember you are very near to the equator. Take it easy in the sun for the first few days. Pharmacies in Castries
We took our Sony Digital Camera and it was no problem hooking it up in our room to the socket. Electricity 220 to 230 volts AC(50 cycles).An adapter would be convenient, this you can get at any airport.
Shorts, Tshirts, good sandals or walking shoes.
Currency 2.70 EC dollar = 1 US$. US dollar accepted by nearly all hotels, restaurants and shops. Leave a Comment

Day time at any resort consists of beachwear and more of it. On the water (which is what's pictured, on a full day cruise) consists of more beachwear. At our resort we were asked to dress casually elegant at night. That meant at least knee length shorts for men and no beach wear (sarongs or bathing suits) for women. All in all, we were all slightly elegant, but much more on the casual side at dinner. I think this holds true in town also.
I did take hiking boots and used only once in the rain. I never wore anything more than a tank top and a skirt or shorts our whole trip.
We took everything we needed with us. that included two types of mosquito repellant which you will really need at dusk and beyond. and you might want to take a few different sunscreens for your face. I developed a reaction to mine after 4 days and felt like i was going through puberty again. Once was enough!
Take a lot of film and a back up battery. If you run out of film you can get it for about 12 dollars a roll at the tourist traps,(ouch) so we took 7 rolls with us...and used all 7! Leave a Comment

Pack appropriate attire for the activities you plan on doing. Horseback riding pants are advised, hiking remember your boots.
And of course don't forget your swim suit!
Pack lots of sunblock, if you run out it is avaliable in all hotels and drug stores but you do have a limited selection and can be pricey.
Also pack bug spray or lotion. I suggest the lotion and apply it before you go to bed, because this is when they like to feast the most. Especially remember the body parts that are usually exposed at night including your face and neck.
Pack extra film and battries as it is very expensive here and you may not get the batteries you need. Leave a Comment

WEAR THIN CLOTHING!! St. Lucia is very close to the equator and it can get very hot and muggy there. We were there in October and the heat was still stiffling most of the time. You will need all the help you can get to keep cool, so pack light clothing.
We brought disposable cameras with us, but by the time they passed through security at the airport at few times, the film was grainey. I would suggest you buy cameras there and develop the film there if you can. It would be a lot more expensive, but at least the pictures would look good.
I highly suggest a sarong for the ladies. Mine got me into a restaurant that normally would have rejected me for not being dressed appropriately. Not to mention, they are just too cute!
