- Caribbean ↗Several islands (Turks and Caicos above all, also the Bahamas and Jamaica) jail visitors for a single stray bullet or cartridge in their luggage; empty every bag and pocket before you pack.
- Caribbean ↗From August to October keep a free last day before your flight home and check the national hurricane centre daily; airports close when a named storm approaches.
- Caribbean ↗Wearing camouflage clothing is illegal for civilians in several islands, including Barbados, Antigua, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Grenada, Dominica, Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica; leave it at home, children's clothes included.
- Guadeloupe ↗Entry follows French rules for overseas departments, which can differ from mainland France and the Schengen area: a Schengen visa alone is not valid unless it is endorsed for Guadeloupe. Check France-Visas for your passport.
- Guadeloupe ↗Sargassum seaweed can pile up on some beaches, mainly in spring and summer: check conditions before booking a beach base.
- Guadeloupe ↗La Soufrière is an active volcano: check the alert level and trail status before hiking.
- Guadeloupe ↗Tap water supply is unreliable in parts of Guadeloupe, with scheduled cuts and occasional quality warnings: keep bottled water at your lodging.
- Grande-Terre ↗Avoid driving across the Pointe-à-Pitre area at about 06:30–08:30 and 16:00–18:30: traffic is heavy.
- Pointe-à-Pitre ↗The centre empties after dark and on Sundays: eat early, take a taxi door to door in the evening and do not wander the back streets.
- Pointe-à-Pitre ↗Pavements are narrow and uneven: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
