Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply broad‑spectrum reef‑safe sunscreen before the beach stop to protect marine habitats and avoid sticky reapplication after the ATV ride.
Wear sturdy, closed‑toe shoes
Trails are rocky and the ATV floorboards can throw up debris—closed shoes protect toes and provide grip during mounting and dismounting.
Secure loose items
Bring a small dry bag or zip pouch—the trail is dusty and bumpy; phones and wallets fare better zipped away.
