Tips for this trip
Reef-safe sunscreen (mineral-based, no oxybenzone) is increasingly required by law in places like Hawaii and parts of Mexico.
Check water temperature, not just air temperature. Some destinations are warm on land but the sea stays cool until summer.
Travel insurance with weather-disruption coverage is worth it during shoulder seasons even outside official storm windows.
