TIPS FOR A FABULOUS FLORIDA BEACH DAY.
Planning ahead will insure a
cheerful and relaxing day at the beach!
Beach–goers are so excited to get to the beach, it is easy to
overlook the prolonged effects of the strong Florida Sun. Some simple tips to save you time and hassle
while at the beach.
1.
SUNSCREEN is something you can’t
live without at any of the Florida Beach Near Orlando. Did you know that you receive UV Rays on
overcast days in Florida? So lather up
no matter the weather. Florida is not
called the “Sunshine State” for any other reason! Save yourself the discomfort of painful
sunburn later. Use a minimum of
sunscreen 30 for the sun. As a matter of fact, re-apply at least every two
hours.
2
PEAK HOURS -Avoid the Florida Sun’s
Peak Burn Hours. From 11a.m. to 2p.m. you’ll find the sun’s heat almost
unbearable which is a good indication that you should be in a swimming pool/ocean
and enjoying a cool drink and then finding some shade.
3.
WATER is necessary for hydration
during the day and evening…you will need more than usual as the sun in Florida
is extremely strong! Do not depend on
carbonated drinks for your hydration and it has a way of attracting bees as
well! Nothing is worse than sticky dried
soda with sand attached! Without the correct fluids, you will experience
cramping and headaches…so stay ahead and keep drinking your water bottle. Pack
a few in a cooler from your vacation home to have on
hand.
4.
RIP CURRENTS- There is an underwater
stream that flows extremely quickly they change rapidly with sandbar and
tides. The rip currents are detected by
air and posted, but not all of them can be detected so take care to swim near
designated areas. You cannot swim
against the riptides and will need to know that they exist and require
attention at all times when swimming... Never swim alone- always make sure you
have a friend with you in the water in the case of an emergency. Tell your
family about the dangers of the rip currents. It is best to swim near a
lifeguard stand if your unsure of the ocean currents and shifting sands which
cause rip-currents.
5.
RAIN PONCHO - One definite about the
weather in Florida…it changes like the clock...morning sun afternoon rain and
back to sun for a beautiful sunset... So pack a Poncho and extra water...do
yourself a favor and check the weather before leaving your ROVH vacation home.
Have your car nearby if you decide to leave.
6.
PLANNING- Plan ahead to avoid last
minute crisis with sunburn, dehydration, rain, hunger and crowded beaches. Planning takes only a few minutes from your
vacation home. Orlando vacation homes
offer a convenient location to the supermarkets and superstores to stock up on
all your necessary beach supplies. Your
vacation home may offer complimentary beach supplies, if not, you can rent
umbrellas and chairs right at the beach entrance.
