How to keep safe on a day at the beach

Spending a day at the beach either alone, with your family, friends or partner is
wonderful. Surely you think that by going to the beach nothing bad will happen to you.
But this may not be true if you don't pay attention to the tide, the sun or the
hydration. Here are some tips to prevent accidents.

First, is extremely important to pay attention to the flags. If the flag is red, it is
forbidden to enter the water. On the other hand, if the flag is orange, you can get in
but you will have to be careful. And finally, if it is green, you can bathe without
problem. It should be noted that it is not a good idea to stray too far from the shore.

The next thing to keep in mind is the sun. You should apply sunscreen if you don't want
to get sunburned and have serious problems if the burn has been severe. If you spend
all day on the beach, you should apply sunscreen more than two times and use one
that has a good protection.

Finally, if I were you, I would take a cooler to keep the drink cool. Carrying water is
something we always forget so do not forget to bring enough water and hydrate
yourself well. In case you forget it, depending on which beach there will be a beach bar
near there, but the water will be much more expensive.

If you follow this simple advice, the day at the beach will have been much better.
