Beach Safety Tips

It's hard to resist a day on the beach, but you'll need to know some safety rules when you're swimming in the ocean. When you first get to the beach, check with the lifeguard to find out how strong the waves are.

You might run into some jellyfish, getting stung is no fun. It can hurt and blister your skin. Tips on how to treat a Jellyfish Sting

 

Remember to:

• Ask lifegaurd about ocean conditions.
• Never swim alone!
• Don't swim out too far.
• Educate yourself on rip currents.
• Swim in front of a lifeguard.

Help keep our beaches clean

Being a Responsible at the Beach
Plan ahead and bring a trash bag with you on your next trip. If you carry it in, carry it out. If you are having fun with your family and you take food or beverages to the beach - please keep your area of the beach clean.

 

 

Help Eliminate Boating Waste
When you go boating, don’t empty your waste into the water.

 

 

Always Clean up after your Pets.
Pet waste contains harmful bacteria and organisms that can spread disease. Pick up pet waste, seal it in a plastic bag, and dispose of it in trash cans. Don't hose waste into storm drains. Help keep your neighborhood and your pet healthy and clean.
