    • Sand castle toys

    • Squirt guns to fill up with salt water

    • Toy weapons

    • Water balloons

    Correct Answer
    A. Sand castle toys
    Explanation
    Sand castle toys are an appropriate beach toy because they are specifically designed to be used in the sand. They allow children to build and create their own sand castles, promoting creativity and imaginative play. Additionally, sand castle toys are safe and do not pose any harm or danger to children, unlike squirt guns, toy weapons, or water balloons which may cause accidents or injuries.

    If you get burned easily, you might want to use an _________ to provide shade.

    Correct Answer
    umbrella
    Explanation
    If someone gets burned easily, using an umbrella can provide shade and protect them from direct sunlight. Umbrellas are commonly used to shield individuals from the sun's rays, preventing sunburn and excessive exposure to UV radiation.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What should you do when you are caught in a riptide?

    • Start flailing around and freak out

    • Start swimming frantically

    • Swim parallel to the waves

    • Float away

    Correct Answer
    A. Swim parallel to the waves
    Explanation
    When caught in a riptide, swimming parallel to the waves is the correct course of action. Riptides are strong currents that can pull swimmers away from the shore. By swimming parallel to the waves, you can escape the pull of the riptide and make your way back to the shore safely. Flailing around or swimming frantically can exhaust you and make the situation worse. Floating away will only take you further from the shore.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What SPF should you use if you do not burn easily?

    • SPF 55

    • SPF 80

    • SPF 5

    • SPF 30

    Correct Answer
    A. SPF 30
    Explanation
    If you do not burn easily, using a lower SPF like 30 is sufficient for protecting your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. SPF 30 provides a high level of protection by blocking about 97% of the sun's UVB rays. It allows for some natural tanning while still preventing sunburn. Higher SPFs like 55 or 80 may provide slightly more protection, but the difference is minimal. It is important to reapply sunscreen regularly and take other sun protection measures regardless of the SPF level used.

    • Alcoholic Drinks

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Dogs
    A. Loud Music
    A. Alcoholic Drinks
    Explanation
    Dogs are not allowed on most beaches due to concerns about safety, hygiene, and potential disturbances to other beachgoers. Loud music is also generally not allowed as it can disrupt the peaceful environment and disturb others. Alcoholic drinks are often prohibited to prevent public intoxication, maintain order, and ensure the safety of all beach visitors.
