- 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.
- Turks and Caicos ↗The Turks and Caicos Islands set their own entry rules as a British Overseas Territory; check official government sources for your passport.
- Turks and Caicos ↗Firearms and ammunition are banned: even a single forgotten round in your luggage can lead to arrest and a prison sentence. Check every bag before you fly.
- Turks and Caicos ↗Marine national parks are enforced: do not take shells, coral or conch, and follow anchoring rules.
- Providenciales ↗Outside the Grace Bay strip there is no public transport: book a rental car or fixed-rate taxis before you land, and drive on the left.
- Providenciales ↗Sun and sea: strong UV all year, and no lifeguards on most beaches; use reef-safe sun protection and check the wind before snorkelling.
