Please pay attention to the tide change and the lifeguards' instructions, and avoid dangerous waters. After playing on the beach, you may hose off the sand with the faucet by the beach or the swimming pool before taking a shower at the shower room inside the tourist information center to avoid clogging the drains in the shower room.
