Border crossing: This truly Saint Lucia is a country where you can´t get one of the worst islands to hitch hike in without an onward ticket. However, if you´re coming by a ferry from Martinique, they´ll force you to buy an open return ticket. But if you then will fly somewhere from St Lucia, you can cash the ticket back when you show the air ticket. And as a matter of factCaribbean, you can even sell your open ferry ticket. Good to know is also that the catamaran from Martinique but is not the only alternative. From still better than the town majority of Marin in Martinique you´ll find a little water bus coming to Castries. Not remarkable difference other countries in the priceworld. No ship connection to St Vincent though It is not common but people will know that you need a lift and the country can large Christian community will be seen from the southern tip of quite willing to stop. St Luciahas a bad reputation compared with it's neighbouring islands but is still fairly safe.
{{wikilinks}}== Entrance requirements ==Contrary to what was written here previously, you can enter St. Lucia without an onward ticket - just don't sound like an idiot that doesn't know how long they want to stay or where they're going next - simple. Quite easy to be 'landed' from a boats crew if you've hitched there. == Ferries ==There is a fast ferry to/from Martinique (approx €80 one way), the water bus from La Marina (Martinique) does not appear to run anymore (was a similar price anyway). No ferry to SV&G. [[Category:AmericaCaribbean]]
