Stay alert and aware throughout your trip to the beach. Knowing what is happening with the water, waves and weather at all times will help ensure your experience is fun and safe.
Understanding Beach Warning Signs
Beach warning signs are posted by safety officials at lifeguard protected beaches to alert and warn beachgoers of hazardous conditions. Ask a lifeguard if you have questions before you enter the water.
Snorkeling is one of the most popular ocean activities, but it can also be the most dangerous. In fact, more Hawaii visitors drown while snorkeling than during any other activity.
When you’re not in the ocean, or even if you want to stay completely out of the water, you still need to be careful. Simply being near the water puts you at risk.
