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.
Antigua and Barbuda ↗Check entry rules for your passport on official Antigua and Barbuda government sources before you fly.
Antigua and Barbuda ↗Camouflage-pattern clothing is illegal for civilians, including children: leave it at home.
North-west Antigua (St John's and the beaches) ↗Taxis have posted fares: agree the price before you ride.
St John's ↗Beachwear is for the beach: cover shoulders and knees in town, shops and churches, and never wear camouflage-pattern clothing.
St John's ↗Town pavements are narrow and uneven: large bags go from the taxi to the door, never on a walk.

Rescue anchors

6 places to rest · checked on a 40 m (130 ft) grid

A rescue anchor is a spot where you can stop and recover if the walk goes wrong: a bench, a café, a toilet. Every letter on the map is one anchor, and each has a card below. We check that any point in the cluster is within about 7 minutes’ walk of one, so you are never far from somewhere to sit down.

Map © OpenStreetMap contributors. Lettered circles: rescue anchors (green works in any conditions, amber only on hot days). Dashed outline: the cluster. Red dots: spots more than 7 min from any anchor (none if you see no red). North is up; not for navigation.
