Water in shallow spots close to boats may be less clean. Choose a stretch of beach away from moored boats for swimming.

Do not sit directly on the sand without a towel or mat, as sandflies can cause unpleasant bites. Bring insect repellent; coconut oil was also mentioned as an extra protective option.
