What do I need to know before moving to Rodney Bay?

"Rodney Bay, is a popular destination for expats due to its beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and friendly locals. Before moving, expats should be aware that the official language is English, but many locals also speak a French-based Creole. The cost of living can be high, especially for housing and imported goods. Healthcare facilities are available but may not be up to the standard expats are used to, so it's advisable to have comprehensive health insurance. The climate is tropical with a wet season from June to November, which can bring hurricanes. The local cuisine is a blend of Creole, Indian, and British influences, with seafood being a staple. The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar, but US dollars are widely accepted. Driving is on the left side of the road, and while public transportation is available, having a car can be more convenient. The crime rate is relatively low, but petty crime like pickpocketing can occur, so it's important to take standard precautions. Finally, while Saint Lucia is a welcoming country, it's important to respect local customs and traditions," remarked another expat who made the move to Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia.
