For anyone with kids they will know only too well how much they want to keep SOMETHING they have just found at the beach for a pet and the PROMISE they will look after it. But Beware! Somethings are not to be touched, let alone kept.

Toad fish may look cute but they are highly poisionous and will kill your kids, if in doubt, just put them back.

Shells are ok, right? Wrong. Some types are poisionous too, like the Conch Shell that shoots poisionous barbs out. So ask a lifegruard before picking up a cone shaped shell, as it may be the las ttime that you do.

Unique Suggestions: If you must go to the beach

1. swim between the flags
2. cheak for when stinger season is
3 ask if you are unsure of someting
4 wear sunsrean and cover up despite what you may see other s doing- you will get burt if you don't

Fun Alternatives: If you are tooscared by what i have said there are plenty of good wave pools and salt water pools. there may be one at you're hotel
