Pack sun protection

Bring a light layer
Sea breezes and shaded dining areas can feel cool in the morning or after sunset—carry a windbreaker or light fleece.

If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication or wristbands before boarding—the bay can be choppy in exposed stretches.
Use a small dry bag
For kayaking or a swim at Titov Island, a dry bag keeps electronics and documents safe from splashes.
