Check sea conditions before you go
The Blue Grotto and small-cove swimming are weather-dependent; morning departures increase the chance of calm water.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and hat
Sun reflects strongly off the water; protect skin and bring a hat that clips on or fits snugly on a moving boat.
Use a dry bag for valuables
Phones and cameras get wet when boarding and swimming — secure them in a waterproof pouch or dry bag.
Carry small cash for lunch and dock fees
Many family-run restaurants and vendors accept cash but may not take cards, especially for smaller purchases.
