Providenciales Island Warnings and Dangers

When talking about visiting a place like Providenciales Island it can seem as though you are visiting the very embodiment of paradise. While the place truly is a wonderful place to visit, there are things that can absolutely hamper a visit.

Crime

While you’re going to want to go out and check out the island when you are here, you should make sure all of your valuables are properly stowed and locked away. There have been more than a few reports of people going out for an evening and coming back to their rooms with most of their stuff stolen. Thieves know when there are tourists about and they know they are usually the easier targets. Always stay alert and make sure you are keeping track of who and what is around you. Every once in a while, things such as the spare tire on a rental car will go missing. It appears that everything is up for grabs at one time or another.

Sun

While this is a beach island, and you are going to want to spend some time outside, you need to be careful. Make sure you have protected yourself against the sun and the heat. You can get some very bad burns and you can even get heat stroke in a shorter period of time than you likely expected. Be aware of how you’re feeling and head inside when  you start to feel a bit off.

Stray Animals
