Britain’s coastline is blessed with stunning seaside spots for all the family to enjoy, but the sea is powerful so refresh your memory about the hidden dangers and how to deal with them.
According to the two biggest beach safety and drowning prevention charities in Britain – the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and the Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS) – the greatest threat to a typical family trip to the seaside probably won’t come from sharks or jellyfish, but from rip currents, tides and offshore winds. These may not sound as menacing, but each year more visitors to Britain’s beaches get into trouble because of them than anything else.
