"When moving to Saint Lucia, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the tropical climate. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing such as shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses. Bring a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. Bring comfortable shoes for walking and exploring the island. Don't forget to pack swimwear and beach towels for the many beaches and water activities. Bring insect repellent to protect yourself from mosquitoes.
