Three Quick Tips

	Choose the right beach for your vacation needs. Are you a family looking for a safe beach with lifeguards and water sports? Honeymooners dreaming of sharing the sunset on a secluded beach? Whatever kind of beach experience you fancy - Jamaica has a multitude of them. Research our beach properties before you go.
	Pack smart. Along with your sunblock, don't forget to pack a cover-up, hat, and sunglasses. The beautiful sunshine of Jamaica is very strong, even when it's hiding behind the clouds.
	Cover up before you leave the beach. Although Jamaicans generally accept casual dress, we're more conservative when it comes to beachwear. Unlike many beach communities in the US and Europe, it's not typical to wear bathing suits off the beach, not even at nearby restaurants or shops. So when you leave, be sure to throw on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt or a sundress.

Arrowroot: The arrowroot plant is native to the West Indies and Central America; it belongs to the same family as ginger. It was used by the original inhabitants of the area and it served as food but seems to have first been used for religious and medicinal purposes. The Indians used it in wounds inflicted by poison arrows-hence its name. Jamaica was once a producer and exporter of arrowroot. Nowadays it is used in face powders, glues, confectionery, ice-cream cones and paper and textiles.
