Temperatures are in the 90s, and with humidity it feels like they are over 100 degrees on some days. When it comes to days like this, you need to make sure you are prepared to handle the dangers of heat stroke. Luckily there are simple precautions you can take to have a safe and fun filled day at the beach.
Drink Plenty of Water: You should always drink lots of water, even if it’s not to avoid heat stroke. Water is naturally good for the body, but more so when out in the heat. So stay hydrated as you enjoy the beach.
Avoid Sunburn: This is a good tip in general, no one likes a painful sunburn. When you do get one though, it hampers your body’s ability to release heat, increasing your chances of suffering from heat stroke. Use sunscreen and limit your exposure to the sun. Take breaks and sit under an umbrella or some shade to grab a drink now and
Earlier up above, I had mentioned a wetsuit and leash to be a few accessories that can be of great use. Depending on what the weather is like, a wetsuit can keep one warm (“Beginners Surfing Equipment”). Thus, I will not obtain hypothermia and freeze to my death. I also made note that the leash can be seen as a safeguard, which is entirely true because it keeps the surfer and board connected to one another incase the surfer falls of the board and renders unconscious. Furthermore, a rash guard will also help to prevent a wound from appearing. Not only does it “act as a protective layer from board rash and abrasion”, but it also shields surfers from destructive UV rays (Belt). It is a two in one deal, considering that I will not have to wear too much sunscreen or worry about acquiring painful rashes. If I want to surf in the long run, then following these precautions would benefit myself very

Sarasota beach is quiet, and one can hear the natural crashing of the waves hitting the shore that sooths anybody trying to relax and enjoy their
Semaphore Beach is affected by many factors such as natural processes and human impacts including marine litter and the discharge of stormwater. Therefore, several plans have been employed to ensure that the coast is supported through the method of counteracting erosion. However in the future, many management strategies have been put into consideration as well as the environmental, economic and social impacts as well as the predicted consequences. These impacts include traffic related incidents, noises and air pollution and the disruption of wildlife and the erosion of dunes. A method that should be considered for future management of the beach is the use of a concave sea wall, although efficient, this structure would be quite costly. Without the use of coastal management, Semaphore Beach would be unsupported, therefore negatively being affected by a variety of
Surprisingly, even with these astonishing numbers people still continue to put themselves at risk everyday. The solution to all this is very simple, we all need to wear sunscreen when planning to expose ourselves to the sun. There are also other everyday preventive measures that we can take to decrease our chances of harmful exposure to the sun. It is always helpful to wear a shirt and a hat with a broad brim. Wear sunglasses that absorb 99%-100% of UV rays to help your block your eyes and the skin around your eyes from these harmful rays. The two most important things for most people who like to tan are to seek shade frequently and to never use tanning beds. You can put your body at even more of a higher risk of contracting skin cancer when staying in the constant heat.
Being prepared before someone enters the desert should be their number one priority. First off Alloway said people need to have a hat with a wide brim and closed crown so it will protect your head and face from sunlight. Next, wear loose fitting long sleeves and pants so that air can be circulated easy. Sunglasses that exclude ultra-violet light are a necessity to help prevent cataracts later on in life. Some other areas of preparation are carrying sufficient amounts of water, first aid and survival kit for the desert environments, and some useful knowledge. ( 2) These are the major things needed in the preparations of going on and exploration in the desert.
As summer fast approaches, everyone begins to make their plans for some fun at the beach. This is time for one to get a nice tan from the UV rays of the sun. Some might get a tan at a tanning salon even before they hit the waves. But is the aftermath really worth the tan? Is there even any way to get a safe tan? The effects of the UV light have both positive and negative consequences on the body. Vitamin D intake and phototherapy are both positive factors. Negatively, UV light can lead to skin cancer and eye damage. While the sun contains a greater amount of UVB, the “burning” rays which are more harmful, the tanning beds still gives the skin direct interaction with UVA rays, which can penetrate deep into the skin, causing other problems.
Those who do typically like to get the most out of their money and take advantage of all the opportunities on the islands. Surfing is popular lifestyle that society pairs with Hawaii. The near-shore waters that range from deep blue to turquoise are often tempting; however, many vacationers do not understand how dangerous Hawaii’s currents can be. Since Hawaii is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the ocean bottom tends to drop off quickly, which causes big and powerful waves. Annually, sixty people drown or are seriously injured by the rip currents of the treacherous waters. Earlier this year, famous singer Britney Spears vacationed on the famous beaches of Hawaii. In a recent interview, so revealed she almost drowned at sea. “I went out and I thought it was like a wave pool, and I thought, ‘This is so nice and refreshing,’ but the thing I didn’t think about is when you come back the waves really come in strong.” Spears got sucked in and kept getting pulled back to sea. She was under for about five minutes before one of her security guards noticed she was struggling and was able to rescue her (Bacardi). A majority of the beaches fly a red warning flag year-round to warn beachgoers of the hazards. If one does find himself trapped in the middle of a current, it’s important to remain calm. Do not try to swim against the tide. Instead, swim parallel to the beach until the current
Ever since Sunset Beach has been officially opened to the public, there has been a drastic increase of tourists present. Television programs concluded that at least a thousand people visit the beach everyday. Reasons for their stay are that they feel comfortable with the environment that surrounds the beach front, people who are at the beach are joyous and numerous activities to enjoy, and the fresh scent of the sparkly waters, make the visitors feel calm and pleasurable. So I decided to take a trip there.
Some of this energy makes it through the atmosphere, and makes its way to the surface. The sun’s rays that hit the land are able to heat the land up more and faster than those rays that hit the water’s surface. Land is a much better conductor of heat than water is. Take for instance, if a person walks on the sand at the beach, the sand could be very hot and almost unbearable to stand on depending on the day, however moving into the water that has been under the same conditions all day is very cool compared to the sand. The other part of this, is not only how quickly land heats up compared to water, land cools much more rapidly too. Going onto the same beach at night, the sand is super cool, and in comparison to the sand during the day the variation in temperature is quite a lot. Walking into the water, the temperature is going to be similar as to how it was during the day due to water not absorbing, or letting go of heat very easily. Land temperatures in certain areas can change by 20 degrees, while the temperature of the water could only change by 2 – 4 degrees.
The items you need to bring with you can differ between the beach and the city but it can also be the same. At the beach you need to bring bathing suits and surf boards. At the beach you want to bring shorts and tank tops. While in the city it is wise to bring comfortable shoes and a jacket. The city you should bring shorts and comfortable shirts as well as dress clothes if you plan on attending a Broadway show or a musical or even go out to a nice restaurant. In the city and the beach if you want to do things outdoors you should bring sunscreen and shoes. In both places it is wise to bring cash for public transportation but different types are available in both places. And of course you will need to always bring your own toiletries.
I use any excuse to walk along the ocean, especially alone and without my phone. The wind blew cold air, but the sun’s warm rays kept my body at a perfect temperature. It was three in the afternoon and I was calm.
