Safety Tips
FL

Don't let your common sense go on vacation. Be sure to keep your valuables locked in a hotel safe and keep guest room keys out of sight. Don't invite crime by forgetting to lock hotel rooms or car doors. Carry credit cards and traveler's checks instead of large amounts of cash and be discreet when making cash purchases. Please use our map and know where you are going before you hit the road.

Sun Sense
FL

Preparing correctly for a day on the beach will ensure your fabulous Florida tan is the envy of all your friends back home. Follow these tips to ensure a pleasant time in the sun:
Use sunscreen with a higher SPF than you normally do and apply it frequently. Fair-skinned people should always use a higher SPF sunblock. Use sunscreen every day even when you're just walking or playing (even if it's cloudy). Sand, asphalt and cement all reflect and intensify the sun's rays. For maximum protection, choose a waterproof sunscreen that retains its SPF level after 80 minutes in the water. Because children are more susceptible to sun damage than adults, they need a waterproof sunscreen with a high SPF.

Water Safety

Note color-coded flags for swimming conditions at the beach (blue = safe, yellow = marginal, red = dangerous and prohibited). Jet ski operators must be at least 14 years old, always wear a flotation device and ride with caution.
