Local tips
- Book boats early for summer weekends and holidays, and go out in the morning when the water is usually calmer.
- Watch the weather. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in summer; most tour companies will reschedule if it is unsafe.
- Check the beach flags before swimming: double red means the water is closed.
