A LITTLE CARE GOES A LONG WAY

Enjoy the shore,
with care.

01

Pack in, pack out

Water, sun protection, a hat and a rubbish bag. Do not rely on finding water outside the village.

02

Respect island life

Leave plants, shells and natural materials where they are. Dogs are not allowed on the beaches.

03

Choose for the conditions

Wind, heat, sea conditions and fire restrictions matter more than sticking to a pre-planned route.
