I chose beach safety because beaches are super popular—lots of people, including me, love going there to swim, surf, or just chill. But the beach also has some real dangers, so it’s super important to know how to stay safe.

Here are five big hazards you should watch out for:

1. Rip Currents – These are strong currents that can drag you away from the shore real quick.

2. Jellyfish Stings – They hurt! And for some people, they can even cause allergic reactions.

3. Sunburn – Too much sun doesn’t just hurt—it can also increase your risk of skin cancer.

4. Dehydration – When it’s hot out, it’s easy to forget to drink enough water.

5. Sharp Objects – Stuff like broken shells or rocks hidden in the sand can cut your feet.

The most critical hazard, in my opinion, is rip currents.
Here’s what you should know to avoid them:

How to Spot Them: Look for patches where the water looks different—maybe choppier, or kind of churning.

Safety Tip: Always try to swim where there are lifeguards, and stick between the flags.

What to Do if You’re Caught: Don’t panic. Just float, wave for help, and swim parallel to the shore until you’re out of the current. Then you can swim back to the beach.

Where's the hike at?
It's over in the Blue Mountains in Australia—starts near Echo Point in Katoomba.

How long is it?
It’s only like, one kilometer round trip. Takes half an hour to an hour, depends how much you stop for pics.

Anything special to keep in mind?
Yeah, just wear comfy shoes—no thongs, seriously.
Bring water, maybe a hat if it's hot.
And watch your step—some stairs and edges are sketchy.

What’s there to see?
You get an epic view of the Three Sisters, Jamison Valley, all those crazy cliffs.
If you wanna see before you go, there’s a virtual tour here:

Why’d you pick this one?
I picked it ’cause it’s short, super easy, and the views are insane—even if you’re not really a hiker.

Why I picked this topic:
I went with pedestrian safety 'cause, you know, I walk pretty much every day. And honestly, a lot of people don’t really think about how to stay safe around cars—but we should.

Top 3 rules you gotta follow:

Cross at crosswalks – that’s where drivers actually look for people.

Stay alert – don’t be on your phone or zone out with music when you’re crossing. Pay attention!

Look both ways – left, right, and left again. Yeah, just like your parents taught you.

How I’m gonna be safer in the future:

Make eye contact with drivers – before I step off the curb, I’m gonna try to see if the driver sees me.

Wear bright clothes – especially at night or when it’s gloomy. If drivers can see you, you’re way less likely to get hit.

1. What are the dangers?

1.At night, it’s hard to see the waves, rocks, or rips.

2.If you drink alcohol and then swim, your reaction is slower and you make poor choices.

3.There are no lifeguards at night, so if something goes wrong, no one can help quickly.

4.Glass bottles are also risky. If they break, people can step on the glass and get hurt.

2. How can we stay safe?

1.The biggest rule is: don’t swim at night, especially after drinking.

2.Keep the fun on the sand — play music, eat snacks, chat, maybe some games.

3.Use cans or plastic bottles instead of glass.

4.Plan transport home before the party, so no one drives drunk.

5.Look out for your friends. If someone tries to swim, stop them.

3. Why plan ahead?

1.Without a plan, it’s easy to do something dangerous in the moment.

2.When you plan safe activities, everyone can relax and enjoy the night.

3.At the end, you’ll remember the good times, not an accident.
