Local Tips

Buses are shared mini-vans; flag them down along the main road. Bring cash for small purchases and local eateries, as not all accept cards.

Safety Warnings

Generally safe but take precautions against petty theft. Avoid walking alone on isolated beaches after dark and always lock vehicles and accommodations.

Hidden Gems

Feed the stingrays at Barker's National Park, find local food trucks along Batabano Road, and snorkel the lively reefs of Cemetery Beach for fewer crowds.
