Beach Day Basics: Grace Bay Beach Safety & Security Essentials

A few simple habits help you enjoy effortless, secure beach time from morning to sunset.

Sun and heat: protect your energy so you can play longer

• Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen and reapply regularly, especially after swimming.
• Hydrate throughout the day; bring water when you head to the beach or pools.
• Use shade—umbrellas, hats, and lightweight clothing—to give your skin a break.
• Plan peak activity for earlier or later in the day when the sun is gentler.

Water awareness: enjoy calm conditions with common sense

• Enter the water gradually to gauge conditions and your comfort level.
• Swim with a buddy and keep children within arm’s reach near the shoreline.
• Give watercraft and snorkelers plenty of space; look both ways before entering or exiting the water.
• Know your limits and rest as needed; calm water invites relaxation, not rushing.

Personal belongings: keep it simple and secure

• Bring only essentials to the beach and keep items consolidated in a single bag you can easily monitor.
• Use pockets with closures for small items you’ll carry, like a key or card.
• When you head to the water, have one person stay with your belongings or move valuables out of sight.
