Start early to beat heat and crowds
Depart in the morning to enjoy cooler temperatures at the fort and quieter beaches before midday crowds and sea-sport activity pick up.
Bring cash for markets and small vendors
Many beach stalls and flea market vendors accept cash only — keep small bills for bargaining and snacks.
Footwear for mixed terrain
Wear closed-toe shoes with good grip for fort steps and rocky headlands; flip-flops are fine for beach time but unreliable on cliffs.
Hydration and sun protection
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water, reef-safe sunscreen and a hat — shade is limited along many viewpoints and beaches.
