- 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.
- Saint-Martin ↗Entry rules follow France for the French side, and those for French overseas territories can differ from mainland France: check official French sources for your passport. Arriving through the Dutch-side airport, check Sint Maarten's rules too.
- Saint-Martin ↗The island has two jurisdictions: Saint-Martin (France) and Sint Maarten (Kingdom of the Netherlands). Laws, currencies and emergency services differ on each side.
- Saint-Martin ↗Ferries to Anguilla, St Barths and Saba are international trips: carry your passport.
- Grand Case and Marigot (French side) ↗June to November is hurricane season with the peak in August to October: buy flexible fares and insurance that covers storm cancellations.
- Marigot ↗The big waterfront market runs on Wednesday and Saturday mornings; on other days only a few stalls open. Plan the market for those mornings.
- Marigot ↗The Simpson Bay and Sandy Ground bridges open for boats at set times: leave a buffer on airport days.
