Other Tourist Scams in St. Lucia

Unofficial "Rasta" Beach Drug Solicitation

On quieter stretches of beach around Anse Cochon, Laborie, and some northern Rodney Bay beaches, individuals approach tourists — often identifying themselves as local Rastafarians offering cultural conversation — and transition to selling marijuana or other substances. Purchasing is illegal and has resulted in visitors being arrested by St. Lucia police or robbed after the transaction.
