The Caribbean sun can be very intense, especially around midday. Remember to protect yourself by using high-SPF sunscreen, wearing a hat and sunglasses, and staying in the shade as much as possible.

Lightweight clothing made of breathable fabrics such as linen or cotton is also recommended to stay comfortable in the tropical climate.
