KEEP THE BEACH CLEAN

Littering on the beach not only spoils the pristine environment but also harms marine life. Always use the provided dustbins for your trash.

WATCH YOUR KIDS

Make sure your kids are with you or in close proximity. There have been incidents of kids going missing on crowded beaches.

No one likes to be ogled at when they are on the beach. Enjoy your time at the beach, but refrain from intrusive staring.
