City advice
Getting around
Buses tend to run on island time!
From City: Use Rock Dundo bus (often yellow bus from Bridgetown)
Fare: $3.00 BDS ($1.50 US)
*Please be advised that most will not accept U.S. coins. Change will be provided in local currency.
Customs and culture
Wearing camouflage of any kind is strictly prohibited.
Camouflage is only to be worn by the military. Often airport staff will ask if you have any camouflage garments. If it is found it will be confiscated.
What to pack
Walk with an umbrella.
Rain showers can occur sporadically, even when sunny. They are usually brief, but if you're concerned about your hair, its best to walk with one just in case. Often you will also find some locals using umbrellas to provide shade. :)

Safe Beaches
Most beaches on the southwest are safer. One of my favorite beaches is Miami Beach as waves are very manageable and child-friendly. Avoid the eastern beaches as waves are typically rough (ideal for surfing).
