Official travel advisory

2 Exercise Increased Caution

The U.S. State Department places Saint Lucia at Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution citing crime. Our live index reads 90.2/100. That advisory was last revised Jul 10, 2026, 53 days ago; the index above is recomputed continuously from current reporting.

Violent crime occurs throughout Saint Lucia, and visiting foreigners have suffered armed robbery, burglary, assault, and rape, with some killings among American nationals. Attacks have reached guests staying at tourist resorts, while opportunistic theft such as pickpocketing and purse snatching remains frequent around heavily visited areas. Overcharging, scams, and pushy vendors also affect these locations, though tourist police are stationed at most major sites. Police reaction to incidents is slower than American norms, and hurricanes strike the island regularly.
