The Riteway by TMM has big bottles of sunscreen. TMM also sells it. They also offered us some leftover bottles from boat clean up in June. That was great! You could also buy it thru Amazon (way cheaper) and have it sent to TMM. I'm doing that next time! You can have an Amazon package sent to TMM and they’ll hold it for you??? This could be a game changer for packing light ......

Shipping UPS a 10" x 10" x 10" weighing 10#'s is about $200
The USPS is less, but still expensive, and who knows when it might show up.

Is there some restrictions on type of sunscreen approved in the islands now? Something about reef protection. Some bans showing up in the states. The Key West City Commission voted Tuesday night to ban sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate, two chemicals that have been shown to be damaging to coral reefs. Beginning in January 2021, Key West will ban such sunscreens from sale within city limits — taking a cue from Hawaii, which became the first state to pass a similar ban. https://www.washingtonpost.com/clim...opular-sunscreens-help-keep-coral-alive/Dave
