Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use coral-friendly sunscreen and apply before entering the water to protect reefs and improve water comfort.
Wear water shoes
Rocky shore entries and patchy reef mean sturdy water shoes help with footing on shore and when boarding small boats.
Secure seasickness remedies
If you get queasy on open water, take preventative medication or use acupressure bands—the crossing can be choppy mid-day.
Pack a dry bag
