Why is our Ocean Rescue Supervisor standing in a large hole with a frustrated look on his face, you may ask?

👉Because someone decided to dig a massive hole on our beach and leave it unattended. 🤦‍♀️

I guess we need to say it a little louder for the people in the back, 📢 𝗗𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗛 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗠 𝗨𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗗 𝗜𝗦 𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗟𝗬 𝗗𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗦!!! ⚠️❗️
⬇️
Why are they dangerous? We're glad you asked:

🦈Did you know that national statistics comparing sand hole collapses to shark attacks confirms that 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗽𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸. (𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘖𝘤𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰.)

🧑‍⚕️No one goes to the beach thinking that they will leave with a broken ankle or worse. Unattended holes can cause numerous injuries to other beach-goers.

🚑 Holes make it challenging for first responders to quickly get to an emergency on the beach. They can also cause damage to their vehicles.

🐢 Who doesn’t love cute little sea turtles?! Holes on the beach can trap hatchlings and/or their mother and cause fatal results.

⚠️⚠️⚠️
Digging holes in the sand can be a serious hazard. If you want to dig a hole on the beach, ONLY dig shallow holes and ALWAYS fill them in once you're finished. Help keep everyone on our beaches safe.
