Issue Two

Beware particularly of jellyfish and sea urchins and avoid contact with these, as some species are extremely poisonous. Please note that any non-sentient floating substances whatsoever found in the water are most definitely not plastic, but probably some form of highly developed algae. Although generally harmless, this should also be avoided as it is protected by law and can cause severe allergic reactions or even death in susceptible individuals. Please note that the management accepts no liability whatsoever for any consequences of interaction with any pollutants and/or (toxic) refuse and/or (human) waste discharges that may occasionally find their way into the seas off our coast. (These are of course mostly foreign in origin.)

For security reasons, photography is not permitted on any part of the beach or the coast, as naval and coastguard patrol vessels and drones regularly patrol the coastal area. Any unauthorised vessels (including craft of any size, ships, rafts or any large floating objects whatsoever) must be reported immediately to the coastal police using the YourBeach app or the emergency services alarm number. Any person failing to report any such craft, vessel or object may be subject to a fine, a term of imprisonment of no less than five years or, if not a holder of a YouCitizen account or valid visitor’s visa, immediate deportation to any appropriate third country without the right of appeal.

Furthermore, any person failing to report any suspicious-looking person (guidelines on how to spot a suspicious-looking person can be found on the YourBeach app and website) – whether on the beach or in the sea – may be subject to a fine, a term of imprisonment of at least ten years or, if not a holder of a YouCitizen account or valid visitor’s visa, immediate deportation without the right of appeal.

Any undocumented persons found on or near the beach, in the sea, or in or on any vessel, craft or object within territorial waters are subject to arrest and immediate deportation without the right of appeal. However, please note that in the event that no coastal police or beach patrol personnel are available to make an arrest, surveillance drones operating in the coastal area are equipped with lethal enforcement capability and this capability may be deployed against any undocumented persons within or attempting to enter or leave the beach or coastal area and/or any persons aiding and abetting or potentially aiding and abetting these. These measures are in place to ensure your own safety and security and enforce our country’s sacrosanct borders, so please do not be alarmed should you witness such a deployment.

Above all, stay safe and enjoy the biggest, cleanest, friendliest, most welcoming beaches in the world!
