The Caribbean Islands are well renowned for its magnificent – and highly rated – white, sandy beaches, which are charming, warm, and inviting.
Yet, a wonderful day at the beach may quickly turn sour due to sunburn, thirst, and a lack of awareness of your surroundings. Therefore, before you go…
Swimming
If you are unable to swim, you should visit beaches that have lifeguards on duty and keep an eye out for red flags that signal strong currents and higher waves.
Be mindful of Manchineel trees
DO NOT TOUCH OR EAT THESE SMALL FRUIT! They are occasionally spotted on the beach and are often identified with red paint. That is lethal! In fact, it can be dangerous to stand underneath this tree while it is raining since the tree’s drips can irritate the eyes and cause skin to blister.
Cover
Between 10am and 2pm, when the sun is at its strongest, think about wearing an umbrella, a hat with a wide brim, a cover-up, and sunglasses.
Skin Protection
On all akin kinds, apply a (SPF) 15 or higher, with UVA & UVB protection that is sweat and water proof. Glorious, sunny, tropical days are wonderful. We advise applying sunscreen 30 minutes before to leaving the house and reapplying every two hours, especially if you are swimming or perspiring. Oh! Don’t forget to use the lip-specific sunscreen as well.
Watersports
Enjoy water activities responsibly – It may seem apparent, but stay away from boogie boarding, swimming, and surfing in waves that are too big for you.
Beach Lime
Although drinking at the beach frequently involves alcoholic and caffeinated beverages, remember to bring water. According to experts, people should drink about 1 liter of water for every hour they spend in the sun.
