Road conditions and road safety can vary widely on the islands, but some stand out as particularly safe. St. Barts (Saint-Barthélemy) is one of the safest islands in the Caribbean, with a homicide rate of zero percent and a below average rate of violent and property crimes. This is due to its exclusive design to meet the needs of high-income visitors.
Sun exposure and mosquitoes are more significant risks than local criminals, making St. Barts an ideal destination for those looking for a crime-free experience. Although minor thefts do occur, visitors who leave their valuables at home or in their hotel room are unlikely to be victims. Anguilla, the Cayman Islands, and the Virgin Islands are also comparatively safe Caribbean destinations.
They have a low crime rate and are below the hurricane belt, meaning they are safe to travel to 365 days a year. People speak several languages (English, Dutch, Spanish, and Papiamento), so it's not a hopeless case if you only speak English or don't speak it at all. The main road conditions in Curaçao are relatively good and traffic is always on the right side. The tap water is drinkable and the climate is arid, so it's not a rainforest with its dangerous insects and mosquitoes.
Most world travelers won't need a visa to prove their identity. Curaçao has the highest number of museums compared to other Caribbean islands, which speaks to its cultural development. It also has more than 30 beautiful beaches, making it an ideal vacation spot. Like Curaçao (and Aruba), Bonaire is below the hurricane belt and has a good climate.
It's widely recognized as one of the safest islands in the Caribbean due to its friendly people who will help if you appear lost or in need of assistance. Barths (or officially Saint-Barthélemy) is a French island famous for being the playground of the rich and famous. The official language is French, although most people speak English well. It's incredibly safe with very little or no crime on the island, marked by its zero murder rate.
It's so safe that you can even leave your car and house unlocked, as many locals do. Being on the road is just as easy, but honking is considered extremely rude. The hurricane season normally runs from June to November, but the islands recovered quickly from Irma's devastating visit. As in many other Caribbean countries, overexposure to the sun is probably the biggest danger for travelers to St.
Barths. Anguilla offers some of the best beaches imaginable and is one of the safest islands in the Eastern Caribbean due to its small size and low crime rate against tourists (which are rare). Although they pay with Eastern Caribbean (EC) dollars, it's easier and sometimes cheaper to use U. S.
dollars. Traffic is smooth and there are no traffic lights like on Bonaire. The warmth, optimism, and joy of Monferrato's people really stand out. Hitchhiking is perfectly safe during the day and early night hours here too.
The island is exceptionally quiet and peaceful, still recovering from a hurricane and volcanic activity from the 1980s and 1990s but with a sepia-toned landscape that makes it even more special. Crime can happen anywhere, so always take common-sense precautions such as closing doors and windows, not carrying too much cash or flaunting expensive jewelry, and using common sense when traveling to any destination known to have a significant crime problem. Based on homicide rates, some of the least safe countries include Jamaica, St Kitts & Nevis, Trinidad & Tobago, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti (which isn't on this list due to nature's spell). Tourists are rarely subject to violent crime though; having some money to spend in your chosen island destination's currency is a great way to ensure you can buy what you need during your stay.
