Beach Information
Here are a few things to keep in mind when you are visiting the beach:
Remember that the size and powers of the waves can vary throughout the day, so always check the warning flags on display before going in the water.
- Respect the warning flags – a Red Flag means it’s too dangerous to go in the water.
- Don't leave children unattended.
- An adult should go into the water first to test the type of seabed, depth of the water, etc before allowing children to go in.
- Make sure that any inflatable swimming aids are in good condition and work properly.
- Test snorkels and masks in shallow water to check that they work.
- Take particular care on beaches away from the major tourist areas, where assistance is limited in case of an emergency.
- Always check the seabed before diving in and watch out for strong currents.
- Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
- Top up your sun protection throughout the day. Salt water reduces the effect of sun block.
- Watch out for boats, windsurfers, water-skiers and others who may be near the shore.
