BREVARD BEACH SAFETY
The summer season in full swing, and thousands of locals and tourists are visiting our Brevard County beaches. While most Floridians are taught from a very young age the importance of water safety and sun protection, it is important to remind ourselves of exactly what we should be looking at when heading to the beach. But first, what makes Florida beaches, specifically our Brevard beaches, different from others? Well, we are the closest state in the contiguous United States to the equator which means the sun’s rays are more powerful here. Due to the unique landscape of our beaches, we are well known for the waves created here, which can lead to rougher conditions for swimmers. We also have a wide variety of wildlife including sea turtles, jellyfish, and multiple species of sharks.
