The goal of creating this list is an attempt to enforce people’s ideas that daily sunning at the beach means fun and does not have to be bad for every person’s health and the health of others. Here are some considerations that you could look in case you are planning on availing a beach get-away.
1. Sun Protection: UV radiation that people gets from the sun results in sunburns, skin damage and increases probability of skin cancer. While swimming, apply a lotion or any product that is a sunscreen and should be of not less than spf 30 and then reapply after two hours. If it is impossible to prevent exposure then one should protect the head from the sun and should also protect eyes and skin.
2. Hydration: It could be fun at the beach since it leads to flying of sand which causes one to get dehydrated very fast due to heat from the sun and water. It is important to increase the amount of the overall fluid intake and avoid alcohol or caffeine during the day that may lead to dehydration.
3. Water Safety: This should be especially done under the current conditions while surfing the tide and waves that are present. Rip currents can overall be described as fairly weak, however for the people who are swimming in the water and especially frequent water activities they can pose quite dangerous threats. Besides, always swim in the area that has been stopped by the lifeguard and do not swim in the water when you are being warned not to by the lifeguard. Hiking or swimming should always be done in parties and someone should always be attending to the children when they are near the water.
4. Marine Life: This also has positive results to the locals given that it increase their awareness or rather appreciation of marine life. The dangers include stinging and poisoning such as sting of jellyfish, stingray and among others. Usually people post or write which eludes about the danger of wildlife or animals, please, people usually takes the words said seriously. Finally, let the unintentional encounter be the goal because if you endeavor to get to any marine life animal, you stand the risk of making it aggressive.
