sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and
piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and
signs.

Entering the surf is strongly discouraged. If caught in a rip

able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to
escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
