Introduction

Whether you're planning your first ever visit to a beach, or you are looking to dive into the sparkly blue waters for the thousandth time, it's important that you respect the powerful force of nature that is the ocean. Beach Safety is a guide available on your iPhone or iPad that will help you stay safe from the many dangerous creatures and calamities that can occur at the beach.

This app is available for free in the Education section of the App Store which will lay out information on rips and currents, which are the biggest causes behind most of the rescue operations as well as drownings every year.

Sharks, Stingers, and Safety Tips

You'll find Beach Safety located in the Education section of the App Store, where it can be downloaded completely free of charge. The app has the familiar five-icon navigation menu at the bottom with the following options: Rip Currents, Safety, Dangers, Apps, and More.

I'll get to the Rip Currents section in a minute, but first I think it's important to know what to do in case of a jellyfish or blue bottle sting. This app, under the Dangers section, will bring you not only the information on what to do in the event of a sting, but will also show you videos on how to deal with the situation.

Furthermore, videos and information on sharks and their behaviors are also available along with signs that could indicate the presence of a shark near you and the things that might draw it to you.
