flies

We went up the beach xmas day and was surrounded with hundereds of flies, i tried that 'off' spray and it helped for about 10 minutes then they were back all over us again and they were so relentless that we eventually went home. Does anyone have any reccomendations/ idears on how to deter the little bu##ers? i would be greatful for any help.:confused:

Aeroguard tropical strength works for me.

Vitamin B apparentley works well.

I just stay inside, they bother me too much. As for a tan, prefer the younger look:)
