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

๐Ÿ‘‰Because someone decided to dig a massive hole on our beach and leave it unattended. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

I guess we need to say it a little louder for the people in the back, ๐Ÿ“ข ๐——๐—œ๐—š๐—š๐—œ๐—ก๐—š ๐—›๐—ข๐—Ÿ๐—˜๐—ฆ ๐—ข๐—ก ๐—ง๐—›๐—˜ ๐—•๐—˜๐—”๐—–๐—› ๐—”๐—ก๐—— ๐—Ÿ๐—˜๐—”๐—ฉ๐—œ๐—ก๐—š ๐—ง๐—›๐—˜๐—  ๐—จ๐—ก๐—”๐—ง๐—ง๐—˜๐—ก๐——๐—˜๐—— ๐—œ๐—ฆ ๐—˜๐—ซ๐—ง๐—ฅ๐—˜๐— ๐—˜๐—Ÿ๐—ฌ ๐——๐—”๐—ก๐—š๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—ข๐—จ๐—ฆ!!! โš ๏ธโ—๏ธ

Why are they dangerous? We're glad you asked:

๐ŸฆˆDid you know that national statistics comparing sand hole collapses to shark attacks confirms that ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—น๐˜† ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—น๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ธ ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ.

๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ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.

๐Ÿš‘ Holes make it challenging for first responders to quickly get to an emergency on the beach. They can also cause damage to their vehicles.

๐Ÿข Who doesnโ€™t love cute little sea turtles?! Holes on the beach can trap hatchlings and/or their mother and cause fatal results.

โš ๏ธโš ๏ธโš ๏ธ
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.
