GOOD BEACH BEHAVIOR!

What does it mean to be at your best behavior at the beach?

Well, first it means obeying the posted signs.

Some beaches let you set up a barbecue and other's don't.  Usually for good reasons.  Maybe people don't want to smell the smoke or have it in their eyes.

There are life guards at most beaches where people are allowed to swim.  Besides actually rescuing swimmers, life guards are the first to know when there's a dangerous tide or a shark. 

 Obey life guards.

Share the beach with others.  Don't play mean pranks on other kids, like burying them in sand and splitting, teasing a girl by trying to drown her, even if she is your sister, or kicking sand.

When you take food and drinks to the beach, take the refuse home with you.  Many beach garbage cans overflow or are attacked by sea gulls who spread the refuse around the beach.  Then the waves take it into the sea.

The plastic that holds six packs of soda together really should be cut into small pieces because they are less harmful to fish and other sea life if they are not left intact.

You don't really want your plastic to be part of the big SEA OF PLASTIC in the Pacific do you?
