What not to do when visiting Saint Martin
Don't sit under a ripe coconut tree - better to be safe than sorry, falling coconuts kill 150 people each year.
Don't take pictures of locals without permission.
Don't dive or snorkel without a floating marker on water.
Don’t be a victim of mosquito-borne diseases - protect yourself against bites by mosquitoes.
Don't forget to negotiate your taxi ride price before you take it.
Don’t forget the hurricane season usually runs from June to the end of November.
Don't really look for a deal - things are not that cheap in Caribbean.
Tell us your experience
We love to hear from people who have travelled the world and know ‘what not to do’. Why not help other people on their travels?
Don't forget coral-safe sunscreen - if you go to water excursions, some of them may not allow you to join without coral-safe sunscreen.
