Winter Beach Safety

Winter weather along the coast can be dramatic, beautiful and extremely dangerous. Please hold onto car doors when getting in and out. On beaches high surf and sneaker waves can knock walkers off their feet. Never turn your back on the ocean and keep children within arm’s reach.

High winds yank car doors from hands and make walking difficult.
Sneaker waves—sudden tidal surges—can strike at any time knocking walkers off their feet and into the cold Pacific.
High surf leaves little beach exposed for walking.
Never turn your back on the ocean and keep children within arms' reach.
