Hi there, I have been lurking here for a month while planning my first trip to AC and have gotten so much great info from you all, I just want to say thanks. I still have a couple of questions that I was hoping someone could answer. First, I will be staying at Ruby's (because of the feedback here and the cost) but I was wondering if that limits me to the beach in front of it. Is it possible to just walk down the beach until a suitable spot is found or are the beaches private to the resort that is in front of it? Also, I understand that shorts are fine for AC, but if I plan on a trip to the mainland to see some ruins, should I bring long pants and sleeves? And lastly, I have seen this question before but am still unsure. If I spend a week on AC with only 1 day trip to the mainland, do I really need anti-malarial medication. If you guys say yes, I'm calling the doc tomorrow.
Thank you for any help and am soooo looking forward to being there the first week of Oct. Can't wait, SStellar72

You can wander the beach all over, no privacy rules exactly, if a particular place is packed full i suppose they might ask you to move down, but i have never had that happen to me yet, in many many wanders...
i always wear shorts to the mainland for a trip to the ruins, but bring a jacket and pants just in case you come back late in the boat. If its dark, it can get a little chilly on that trip from the mainland back to the island. 90% of the time you are back before dark, but every now and then, when you take a little extra time to see the incredible variety of wildlife, you get back late.
The bonus to lateness is the incredible sky that you see as you come across in the dark...
eat no medicine- no malarial whatever. you won't need it...

The world is too small, were you at the tattoo convention a couple of months ago? My tattooist husband and I were there and I think I may have met you!!!
