What to Wear Because of the tropical climate, summer clothes are worn all year round, cottons being prevalent. During the colder winter evenings you might need a wrap or pullover. Casual resort wear is the norm for men during the daytime, although some larger restaurants require jackets and sometimes ties. Swimwear however, should be reserved for the beach and is not appropriate on the street or in town. Getting Around Taxis are popular means of getting around.
Drivers are well informed and friendly and know nearly all the points of interest.
Before you hire a car for the day, settle on the price. There is a reputable car hire company in town. Drivers need to purchase a local driving permit, which is issued on the presentation of a foreign or international license. Local permits are obtainable from the immigration offices at Hewanorra and Vigie Airports. However, all the major car rental agencies issue the permits.
