All year long we are looking forward to summer. Summer! It's such a great time - sun, sea, beach. So you want to soak up the hot sand, sunbathe. But in order for these desires not to turn into trouble, everyone should know the basic rules of behavior on the beach.

The first rule is that you can not swim while intoxicated. Many people, having drunk even one glass of any alcoholic beverage, lose self-control and attentiveness. Everything seems to them, as they say, the sea is knee-deep. Worse, if a person went to swim in such a state at night, when, in addition, poor visibility and the sea seem to swallow a person. It is not uncommon for a drunk person to even fall asleep in water. Drinking alcoholic beverages on the beach is generally not recommended, as the combination of alcohol and the sun is often detrimental.
On any bodies of water, you need to closely monitor children, even if they have learned to swim, they require constant supervision, both in the ode and on the beach, being near the water.

The next rule of thumb on the beach is to control your time in the sun. It often happens that a person comes to the beach, enjoys the sun, the beach, and does not notice the passage of time, does not notice that he has been lying in the sun for more than an hour. Such inattention can lead to the fact that a person “burns out, or even worse - receives heat or sunstroke. Be sure to use sunscreen when out in the sun. Half an hour before going to the beach, use a waterproof cream that has two abbreviations SPF and PPD, or if it has UVA / UVB. It should be remembered that such creams should be applied not only to the body, but also to the ears, nose and lips. And do not forget to reapply the cream every two hours. But even if you have used sunscreen, it is better to refrain from staying in direct sunlight between 10.00 and 16.00. In this case, you need to have beach umbrellas, sunglasses and hats with you.

Drink plenty of water! This is the following rule of conduct on the beach. The average person needs to consume 11 to 14 glasses of water per day. Lack of fluid tends to lead to dehydration.

The study of the area is important for a safe rest. Knowing the surrounding area and the bottom of the reservoir will help to avoid accidents. But still, for added peace of mind, choose an area where there are lifeguards who monitor the safety of bathers. Pay attention to the signs located along the reservoir, they contain very important information good for your life and health.

Even if you are a very good swimmer or you are using a mattress or circle, do not swim behind the buoys. Swim only in the designated area.

Do not stay in the water for too long. This can lead to muscle cramps or chills that make you unable to keep afloat. Even if there are rescuers nearby, this does not guarantee that they will be in time to help you.

If you decide to ride jet skis, boats or other water vehicles, do not forget to wear life jackets.
Try not to breathe too fast and deeply while swimming, and do not hold your breath underwater for too long, as this can lead to fainting and death.

Summer is a time when many go to the sea to take a break from the bustle of the city, enjoy the beauty of the southern landscapes, and at the same time acquire an incomparable southern tan.

However, even on vacation, one should not forget about the culture of behavior. Therefore, before heading to the sea, read the basic rules and regulations of beach etiquette.

First, you need to know that the beaches are different:

  • family, or general, beaches;
  • topless beaches (where girls can sunbathe without a top swimsuit);
  • nudist (where it is supposed to be without clothes);
  • separate beaches (separate for men and women).

According to the norms of etiquette, on each of the above types of beaches, it is necessary to observe the established traditions of behavior and not violate the existing framework: do not walk topless on the family beach, do not strip naked on a topless beach.

Another rule, which is required not only by ethics, but also by medicine, is a preliminary tanning before a trip to the sea. You should not go to the sea beach in the form of a white "crow": in this case, you will not fit into the overall aesthetics of the resort. At least a week before leaving for the south, it is useful to sunbathe in the country or visit the solarium.

As for beachwear, according to ethical standards, girls are strictly prohibited from wearing underwear instead of a swimsuit.

The swimsuit should be chosen according to the figure. It is preferable for full girls to wear closed swimsuits, women of age, even if their complexion is impeccable, should not wear a mini-bikini - this is a suitable option only for young slender girls.

Before going to the sea, it is also advisable for girls to do hair removal.

If a woman has any problems with her hips (for example, pronounced cellulite) or legs, then she should wear a pareo when leaving the sea.

If on family beach You wear an overly open swimsuit, be prepared for the fact that men will perceive this as a readiness to meet.
You can put on and take off your swimsuit and swimming trunks on the beach only in a special changing booth. It is uncultured to dress in plain sight, covered with a veil.

When you are going to go to a store or a grocery stall located on the territory adjacent to the beach, be sure to throw something of your clothes over your swimsuit. Girls can limit themselves to pareos. If you are on a shared beach with children, please, watch their behavior. Do not let them disturb other vacationers.

It is ugly to consider other vacationers on the beach. And it is simply unacceptable to discuss their appearance.

You can't behave too noisy while staying on a common beach. It is also uncivilized to tell obscene jokes loudly.

If you have a desire to listen to music on the beach, you must use headphones so as not to disturb others.

If you and your friends are passionate fans of beach volleyball, play, but only on specially designated playgrounds or at least at a decent distance from vacationers, so as not to hit anyone with a ball and not disturb the spray of sand.

According to the rules of beach etiquette, you can swim only in specially designated places. Swimming in other places, you risk not only your health, but also your life.

If, going to sea, you are worried about the safety of your belongings, politely ask someone from vacationers to look after them. Do not refuse such favors to other vacationers, unless, of course, you yourself are not going to go anywhere.

Also, while on the beach, you should not get carried away with alcoholic beverages, as in the heat their effect is greatly enhanced. The most you can afford on the beach is chilled low alcohol cocktails.

When leaving the beach, it is necessary to clean up all the trash after you in a special trash can set to the side.

You can also not throw cigarette butts on the beach and shake off the ash on the sand. If you don't want to carry an ashtray with you, you can replace it with a cigarette pack or other available means. After use, they should also be thrown into the trash can at the edge of the beach.

If you have taken your favorite dog to the beach, make sure that it does not bathe in places where people swim. All waste products that your animal leaves on the beach must be collected in a bag and thrown into the trash can.

    Going to the beach on a summer day, remember a few simple rules that will help you avoid trouble during your vacation.

    1. Use sunscreen

    30 minutes before going to the beach, use a waterproof sunscreen that has two abbreviations - SPF and PPD, or a cream that shows UVA / UVB under the abbreviation SPF.

    When choosing a cream, you need to know that the higher the SPF protection level, the better it protects against UV rays. The cream should be applied not only to the body, but do not forget to smear it on your nose, ears and lips. It is important to remember that the cream must be reapplied every two hours.

    Take a small first-aid kit to the beach, in which you can put a remedy for burns and insects, anesthetic and disinfectant.

    The sun's rays are especially dangerous from 10.00 to 16.00. Try not to be in direct sunlight at this time. Beach umbrellas, straw hats and sunglasses will help you to escape the heat.

    2. Drink enough water

    If you are spending the whole day at the beach, remember to drink water - the norm for an adult is approximately 11 to 15 glasses. Inadequate fluid intake can lead to dehydration.

    If you decide to relax on the beach - stop drinking alcoholic beverages. This will make your stay safe.

    3. Explore the area

    Knowing the area and the bottom of the reservoir will help you avoid many of the troubles at the beach, such as falls from a steep bank or dangers underwater. You should also study the movement of water or the height of the waves and monitor their changes. If you are caught in an undercurrent, then swim along coastline, and as soon as it ends - swim diagonally to the shore.

    For swimming, choose a place where lifeguards are on duty. Pay attention to the warning signs on the beach. You should know their meaning and take note of the information posted on them.

    4. Watch the kids

    Learn to swim yourself and teach swimming to your children. But remember, even if a child has learned to swim, he must be monitored constantly while he is in the water, even if lifeguards are on duty at the beach.

    Make sure the pool rails are high enough and locked. This is to prevent young children from accessing the pool without an adult.

    5. Be careful in the water

    Be careful when boating and jet skiing, remember to have a life jacket.

    Do not breathe deeply and at an increased rate before swimming, or try to hold your breath for a long time while swimming underwater, as this can lead to fainting and death.

    6. Learn first aid techniques

    Learn to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in an emergency. Basic CPR includes artificial respiration (mouth-to-mouth) and chest compressions. Your first aid skills will help save someone's life until rescuers or an ambulance arrive.

    If you follow these simple rules, your vacation will not only be pleasant, but also safe.

    Sometimes we, even without knowing it, manage to ruin the rest of others. It's all about ignorance of some of the rules that should be followed on the beach. We will tell you how to spend time on the coast without causing trouble for your neighbors.

    Beach etiquette

    In recent years, the concept of beach etiquette has become relevant. This is a set of unwritten rules of behavior that will help even in the most relaxed state be known as an intelligent person. Here are the most famous ones:

    1. We do not violate the personal space of our neighbors. Try to keep at least 5 m between you and other vacationers. Rest in the style of "herring in a barrel" has not seduced anyone for a long time.
    2. We do not disturb our neighbors to admire the surrounding landscape. When installing the umbrella, make sure that it does not obstruct others' view.
    3. Don't scare your neighbors with animals. It is not accepted to take pets to the beach, even if it is a pocket dog.

    For you, a dog on the beach is a playmate and a guardian of things. For others - a potential aggressor, the author of unauthorized heaps and just a troublemaker

    1. Do not travel deep into the beach with children. Kids want to play, tinker in the sand, throw pebbles. This means that there is a risk of disturbing others. Therefore, stay closer to the water and carefully watch the children.
    2. Do not step over the sunbather. Even if you are in a hurry, you should not step over the person. Walk around him or politely ask him to step aside.
    3. Do not play music through the speakers. It is unlikely that the entire beach shares your musical tastes. Limit yourself to headphones.
    4. Don't scream unnecessarily. Any raising of the voice on the shore is an alarm signal, panic can begin. Speak calmly so as not to mislead neighbors or rescuers.
    5. Don't turn the beach into a dining room. It is permissible to take only water and baby food with you. If you get hungry, go to a cafe or bar.
    6. Do not splash. It is better not to start jumping into the water with a running start or fun games with friends in crowded places.

    Another rule of beach etiquette is not to change clothes in front of everyone. Perhaps, this will not bring any great inconvenience to others (but it will make someone happy). But people will doubt the level of your culture for sure.

    Beach dress code

    On vacation, we strive for freedom and rejection of all conventions. And let the "white top - black bottom" stay at home, some rules regarding outfits should be remembered. There are few of them, and they are easy to remember:

    1. You can only undress completely on nudist beaches. If there is no special sign, the swimsuit cannot be removed.
    2. In a swimsuit we go only to the beach. Outside it (even in a beach bar), it is better to cover the body.

    A captured pareo will help the girl out when she needs to leave the beach

    And one more piece of advice. Leave your makeup bag at home. Waterproof mascara and lip gloss is a sufficient set for you. A solid make-up for a beach walk is bad manners.

    Undisputed taboos

    If all of the above turns you from just a tourist into a cultural vacationer, then we will talk about the strictest prohibitions below. If you violate them, you can make more serious consequences than public censure. In no case should you:

    1. Drinking alcohol in public places.
    2. Litter. Leaving wrappers, bags, or bottles can make you accountable.

    You have to be human on the beach

    1. To relieve the need in a reservoir. And it is not necessary to say that in the USSR everyone did that.
    2. Make a fire. Even in the evening, even if no one is around. Most beaches are subject to a fine.
    3. Smoking. People come to the resorts to improve their health, and not breathe other people's smoke.
    4. Take pictures of other people without their consent.

    Disappointment awaits those who dream of showing their second half their ardent feelings on the shore. Remember that for many, this behavior in public is unacceptable. Of course, you can try to find a secluded spot after midnight. But in daylight, this idea is best abandoned.
