We all know the basic summer safety rules: wear loads of sunscreen, drink lots of water, and wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses. But when you’re heading out to the beach, those safety measures may not be enough. We at TripCart are here to help you make that final safety decision: WHICH beach should I go to? Where is water quality high? Where are the beach sands clean and smooth? Will I need to worry about pickpockets? Oil spills? Sharp rocks in the water? Red tide? Rip currents? Sharks? Are there lifeguards?
With the help of fine research done in the National Healthy Beach Campaign, we are proud to present you with a list of the NHBC Certified Healthy Beaches.
From our family to yours, we wish you a fun and safe summer!
