Fresh fish straight from the fisher folk who land their catch daily on the beach at Alligator Pond. Chose from a range straight from their tanks! Eat on the beach in their cool cabanas. Best to access this via boat trip rather than road as it's much quicker!

Mitä kannattaa pakata mukaan
Pack for a hot climate
It's around 30 C most days so you will need to pack clothing accordingly. The nights are always warm except up in the hills where it can be chilly. Pack bug spray if you are bothered by mosquitoes. Bring sun lotion as it isn't always available locally.
