About Ocean safety
Swim at beaches with lifeguards, read the warning signs, never turn your back on the ocean and stay out of the water on the north shores in winter when the surf is high. Give monk seals and turtles their space (NOAA).
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Ocean safety before you go.
