Take a cab to and from jump-up, because parking and traffic are a nightmare. Dress casually and conservatively in cool clothing. Bring just enough Eastern Caribbean cash to see you through the evening, and leave all other valuables locked up at your hotel. Stick to the main streets, and be sensible about what you eat and drink. A mangrove swamp originally separated the small settlements of Rodney Bay and Gros Islet, but a channel was cut between the two to create a magnificent harbor. You will see the marina on your left just after you pass the JQ Charles Mall, heading north on the Gros Islet Highway. To get into town and onto Reduit Beach, turn left onto a signed road just before the shopping center.
Private Boats If you re arriving on a private boat, you can dock at Rodney Bay, Castries, Marigot Bay and Vieux Fort. Rodney Bay and Marigot Bay offer shower facilities, restaurants, grocery stores, and maintenance shops. St. Lucia is also a popular place to begin a sailing charter, and both Rodney Bay and Marigot Bay have major charter centers that rent crewed and bareboat yachts and sailboats.
