Coin-booths do not exist on this island. Major credit cards can be used from some phone booths. For villa renters whose phone is restricted to local calls, a worldwide phone service, Liaisons Mondiales, allows off-island calls by dialing 27.79.91. There is one hour difference between St. Barth and the east coast of the U.S. when Eastern Standard Time is in effect. Thus, when it is 8 p.m. in St. Barth, it is only 7 p.m. in New York.
Film can be very expensive in the tropics.
You will get your best outdoor shots by shooting in the early morning or late afternoon. Of course, if your camera accepts filters, a polarizer will help you capture those post-card blue skies. If you want to shoot pictures of the local people, please remember to ask their permission first. New Year's Day. Three Kings Day.
