City advice
Getting around
Rent a car!
Renting a car is the best way to experience our island. We recommend Centerline Car Rentals (stxrentalcar.com) for great service.
Customs and culture
Greetings
We greet each other with Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening and Good night. It's considered rude to not use the greeting when starting a conversation.
What to pack
We don't get too dressed up here!
We are pretty laid back and even at the nicer restaurants you can get away with casual dress.
Customs and culture
Cover your bathing suits!
Our island does not appreciate seeing your swimsuit except at the beach. Please wear a cover up (not see through) when in town or at stores.
Book before you go
Buck Island Tours
Book your Buck Island tour before you come for best availability options. Caribbean Sea Adventures, Big Beard, Captain Heinz, Llewellyn's Charters (bring own snorkel gear) are all great options!
Don't miss
Buck Island
Buck island is an underwater National Park! Snorkeling on the East end of the island and a magnificent beach on the West end. It's not to be missed.
