Tips and Safety
There is a proverb: Only a fool fears not the sea. Fear may not be necessary, but a healthy respect is never out of place, and, of course, there is encouragement to keep an eye on the children at the beach, as well as to leave inflatable toys at home when the wind is offshore.
The much-loved SUP boards can also lead bathers astray, and it might be a good idea to take a moment to study the safety brochure with good advice before venturing into 'the wild waves.'
We don't have dangerous animals in our waters, but an encounter with a jellyfish can be extremely unpleasant, and here you will also find some good advice.
