Three rules for children on beaches.
1 Do not leave the alone in or beside the water.
2 Do not leave them alone in or beside the sand.
3 Do not build a hole bigger than a child nor let them climb into a hole.
The same applies to making tunnels in the base of a cliff. The death of a seven year old girl should be the last time it happens. But apparently it happens every year. Time to put warning signs on beaches. Common sense is common but not one hundred per cent. get some local McDonalds to say, if leaving the beach for a bit, bring the children with you. Do not leave them alone. Do not allow them to build ditches and holes or tunnels not climb inside them.
Update, Sunday March 172024, experts say don't dig deeper than the knees of the shortest person.
