It goes without saying that even on a cloudy day, sunscreen is essential, and should be applied frequently. A hat is also a good idea. Not only is sunburn very uncomfortable, it is very damaging to the skin. Sunstroke is also most unpleasant - why take time out of your hard earned vacation to spend part of it in bed feeling like death. 
These critters come out in the late afternoon and early evening, but will congregate in any dark place during the day (like under a table). Sandflies are tiny so you will probably never actually see them, but though harmless they pack a mighty punch. There are several products available for topical application. Since you probably will be bitten by these nuisance insects, a product to take out the itch might be a good idea, such as citronella oil. Any drug store will be able to advise you of suitable products. Covering up with long sleeves and trousers is another alternative. 
These are found on many beaches and appear to be wonderful shade trees. However, they are quite poisonous. The fruit look like small green apples and should not be touched. Even sheltering from rain under a manchineal tree can cause blistering of the skin. Most trees are sign posted in some way as being dangerous - perhaps with a red band or cross on the trunk.
