    A couple newbie questions

    couldn't find this exact info.
    our first trip (4/4-12), so
    -do we 'need' water shoes for the beach/ocean?
    - internet, cameras, phones, ipads and such.
    I know the wife will want to have her ipad on the beach (in the shade) for games and such.
    is this ok? do you have to tape the camera? or?
    what about internet reception, can u connect out in those areas (if u can use ipad there)?

    I think that's all. just reading this forum has been such a help.
    counting the days...

    Take the water shoes .. I don't but then again I like the wild side.

    Internet on the beach I haven't had an issue with. No need to tape the camera. It's not that stringent just don't use it and your fine. I've used a laptop on the nude beach every year we go. ---we go 4/11 so we might run into you!

    You can take a camera, but you can't use it on the Nude side and you can't take pics of other guests without permission. They will tell you the rules and people will politely let you know if it is making them uncomfortable. We take pics all the time, you have to capture the fun!

    Our tablet worked at the room, on the beach, most everywhere we tried it (we paid for internet for the week). We were also hoping to stream music from Pandora but Pandora doesn't play in Jamaica.

    Yes they can. You can walk the entire beach so long as you stay as close to the water line as possible. If Sandals guests want to tell friends back home that they had this wild vacation where everyone was naked, they can take pictures of the Hedonism II Hobie Cats.
