Watch the tides, we have rip tides, under tows, and strong currents, Stay sober and stay alert. The tide pools up north are best for novis swimmers. Tides move quickly and can take your things right off the beach. Time walks to not be far when the tide comes in blocking your return. Do NOT leave valuables in the car, on the beach ever.
