Tips from local experts:

  • Wear closed-toe shoes and sunglasses; sand can get hot and loose—avoid flip-flops while driving.
  • Bring sunscreen and a lightweight scarf for wind/sand protection; keep cameras on a secure strap during stops.
  • Arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled start time to allow check-in and the mandatory safety briefing.
