7. Risks
Risk of falling rocks from the cliff above.
Solution
Avoid the rocks and watch for signs of danger.

8. Risks
There is no lifeguard present meaning there is an increased danger from the sea.
The tide often comes in quickly making the sea a potential hazard.
Solution
We have found the coastguard number for the area and the lifeguard station is very close by.
The tide is not a problem as the access to the beach is at the back making it unlikely we can get
cut off.

the event of an accident.
