Practical tips for Guadeloupe
- As an overseas region of France, Guadeloupe uses the Euro (€); credit cards are widely accepted, but keep cash on hand for roadside fruit stands and beach shacks.
- Renting a car is essential to explore between mountainous Basse-Terre and beach-lined Grande-Terre, as public transport is limited and irregular.
- Pack reef-safe sunscreen and eco-friendly mosquito repellent, and always check sea conditions for strong Atlantic undertows on northern and eastern beaches.
Fun fact about Guadeloupe
Guadeloupe’s two main islands, Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre, form the distinct shape of a giant butterfly ('l'île papillon') separated only by a narrow mangrove sea channel called the Rivière Salée.
