- Caribbean ↗Several islands (Turks and Caicos above all, also the Bahamas and Jamaica) jail visitors for a single stray bullet or cartridge in their luggage; empty every bag and pocket before you pack.
- Caribbean ↗From August to October keep a free last day before your flight home and check the national hurricane centre daily; airports close when a named storm approaches.
- Caribbean ↗Wearing camouflage clothing is illegal for civilians in several islands, including Barbados, Antigua, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Grenada, Dominica, Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica; leave it at home, children's clothes included.
- Grenada ↗Check entry rules for your passport on official Grenada government sources before you fly.
- Grenada ↗Camouflage-pattern clothing is illegal for civilians: leave it at home.
- Grenada ↗Carriacou and Petite Martinique are still rebuilding after Hurricane Beryl (2024): confirm your accommodation and the ferry before you go.
The south-west of Grenada is one base: the beach at Grand Anse, the harbour capital 10 km north, and the airport a short drive south. Interior trips need a driver, because roads are narrow and steep. Keep one bed, use taxis or minibuses between the two, and keep a buffer day before your flight home in hurricane season.
