Health, STDs & Crabs

Health

There is no Malaria but apparently some Dengue Fever. Tap water is available for drinking but we recommend bottled water only. The island does have a hospital. We recommend you have Travel Health Insurance.

STD's

Surf Terminating Disasters. While the reefs aren't that sharp it is still coral. Cuts should be cleaned & cared for as per normal tropical wound proceedure. We suggest you bring a small first-aid kit for this. There are also millepedes & scorpions on the island. Both can deliver a surf terminating sting but are very rarely seen.

Crabs

Big ones, very big ones. Big coconut & mud crabs (great eating!) are found all over the island. We strongly advise you don't mess with them, especially when alcohol is present. These should be approached only under strict adult supervision!! 

Known locally as "The Cra Boys" - if they could find shorts that fit, they'd be black!
