Swimming may still be allowed, but visitors should be extra careful and watch their surroundings. Lifeguards can explain what animals have been seen and whether certain areas should be avoided.
Simple precautions can help reduce risk, such as shuffling your feet in shallow water, wearing protective clothing, and watching children closely. These steps can help avoid surprise encounters with marine animals.
The purple flag is meant to inform, not frighten. By listening to lifeguards and respecting the warning, beachgoers can still enjoy the water more safely.
