- Do not stay long under the sun, there is the opportunity to receive a sunstroke; be sure to wear a hat.
- If possible, after exposure to the sun for about half an hour, plunge into the water. When in water, be extremely careful.
- Do not swim where there is too much depth.
- Do not immerse yourself in water while intoxicated! Unfortunately, the rescue team does not work on some beaches and all responsibility for your own life rests solely with you.

Follow these simple rules - and you will get the most out of your vacation and be safe. But do not forget about other people who, like the rest, came to rest. Do not loudly turn on your music, scream, litter on the beach, especially leave glass bottles that are dangerous objects in such a place. Be polite with people, treat them the way you want to be treated. Do not make a fire on the beach and think about the safety of those people who are with you.
