Mosquito repellent and vaccination?
calle313
6 hours ago
Hi!
Reading about that mosquitos are active throughout the Caribbean, it´s commonly recommended that you bring a repellent containing DEET when visiting St. Martin. As I understand, the mosquitos are most active at dusk and dawn. When checking out a 40% DEET repellent sold in Sweden, you should only apply it once a day, and the effect lasts about 8 hours. It seems to be quite potent, and care should made to follow the instructions on how to use it.
How big a risk are the mosquitos in your opinion, is there a risk for Degue and Zika virus? What repellent do you use, where and when do apply it? We are getting hepatitis A + B vaccinations, in Sweden it´s recommended to have at least the hepatitis A vaccination before travelling to the Caribbean. It is also recommended to check if you have the vaccinations for Tetanus and Diphtheria updated .
Is there anything else we need to know, any good tips or recommendations from you guys that have been on the island?
//Cheers!

Cruise Ships

Yesterday at 03:07 AM
Looking ahead to the cruise ship schedule for December, January and February, if I’m not mistaken there seems to be a lot more than in the past several years. Not sure what that will mean for traffic on the island but sure looks like a busy year for the local businesses.

Happy Bay - anti naturism
Sherrie
10/02/2026 06:55 PM
I understand that Club O is the official clothing optional beach but we have visited since 2001 and never had issue on Happy Bay. Today we were approached by an island woman with 2 large dogs telling us we were disrespectful and unlawful. I actually had bottoms on and legally topless. Husband was nude but put on swimming trunks as she approached. She spoke to me only. We were up under the trees minding our own business at about 10 am. She basically made me put my top on stating police would patrol while face timing someone about the incident. Her dogs actually ran at another male naturist entering the water and embarrassed him as well. She ruined the tone of what would have been the perfect day at Happy Bay.

Hello,
I’m looking for one week of owners time on a 4 cabin/4 head CAT in May of 2027. I’ve chartered in the BVI many times and have used owners time through the moorings for many of those trips.
If any one has any time they wish to sell, you can email me at biminis@aol.com.
Thanks,
Ken

Cupecoy this week
Sherrie
09/29/2026 07:50 PM
We've been traveling to SXM since 2001 but never spent a day at Cupecoy. The sea was a bit rough today at Baie Long and I got a little road rash...nothing substantial. Has anyone been to Cupecoy this week who can tell me if it's rough? Also would love more info on parking fee, chairs etc so we are prepared. We've heard good things about Dany's place!

Grenada worth it if not on boat?
tangerine3
09/28/2026 08:05 PM
Hello,
We are only doing land based trip and want to go back to mayreau it has been over 10 years and unfortunately this time around it has to be in high season, we usually go off season anywhere . . .we are looking mid january to late february. We want to fly into SVD take plane to union and water taxi over to mayreau then come back through Grenada. I have been looking on Grenada and the Grand Anse is unfortunately pretty full for those times and the hotels or airbnbs that are left don't look appealing to me. We are not high end and do not do all inclusive. Like airbnbs and/or boutique accommodations. I do see some other properties but they are not in walking distance to either beach. Is it worth it to rent a car and stay somewhere other than the beach area? Would be willing to do that if the lodging had restaurants, shops and bars nearby to walk to. Any suggestions? thanks.
