BEACH SECURITY: HOW TO PROTECT YOUR STUFF AND YOURSELF
PROTECT YOURSELF
Always check the tide before you enter the water. Some signs of a rip current include discolored brown water (caused by sand being stirred up), foam on the water’s surface, debris floating out to sea, and a rippled patch when the water around is calm. If you aren’t sure about the tides, ask a lifeguard.
While inflatable toys are fun in swimming pools, it’s hard to control them (and maintain a safe distance from the shore) in a strong surf or high wind. Better to play it safe than sorry and leave them at home.
This list wouldn’t be complete without reminding you to use sunscreen and stay hydrated. We recommend you drink lots of water, avoid alcohol, and use a water-resistant sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection and SPF 30 or greater.
PROTECT YOUR STUFF
Leave all valuables such as jewelry and expensive cameras at home (or if you’re traveling, secure them in your hotel room safe). Only take one credit card, your ID, and the amount of cash you’ll need for the day.
Try not to leave your belongings unattended or in plain sight on the beach or in your car. (If you have to leave valuables in the car, the trunk is the safest place).
If you’re going to the beach solo, consider purchasing a waterproof pouch for your phone and cash that you can take swimming with you. Be sure to test it out at home first.
When you’re going for a walk on the beach or a dip in the ocean and don’t want to bring everything with you, try this: clean out an empty sunscreen bottle, and stow your keys, money, and phone inside. As an alternative, use a sports bottle, but make sure it’s not see-through.
If you carry a beach bag or a backpack, use one that’s understated and doesn’t look designer or expensive.
Use common sense and trust your gut—if something doesn’t look or feel right, it probably isn’t.
