Not all beaches are recommended for swimming or wading. Large surf, cold water, backwash, sudden drop-offs, pounding shorebreak and dangerous rip currents can turn safe activities into hazardous ones.

There is limited lifeguard service along some portions of the coast. Check with on-duty park staff about the ocean conditions. Be aware that conditions may change quickly. When in doubt—don’t go out!

Rip CurrentsThese are powerful, channeled currents of water flowing away from shore. Rip currents can occur at any beach with breaking waves or where there is a stream or outflow into the surfline.

Steep BeachesBeaches with a steep face can be dangerous to those who venture too close. Stay back on the dry sand and do not play tag with the waves. Never turn your back to the waves and supervise children.

In an emergencycall 9-1-1: Try to remain calm. Keep your eyes on the person in trouble. Give a clear explanation of your location and stay on the line until you are told otherwise. Throw the victim something that floats and yell instructions on how to escape rip currents by having the victim swim in a direction following the shoreline.

How You Can Help Your Park

Here are some simple ways that you can support your state parks. By helping your park today, you will save it for future generations.

Looking for something to do today? Here are some ideas to make your trip more fun!

Four Fun Things to Do in Your Parks

Hunt for treasureDo your kids love to treasure hunt? How about planning a scavenger hunt? Put natural items like acorns and pinecones on a list of things to find. The first one to correctly identify a species checks it off their list. Remember, please leave all items where you find them. For list ideas go to www. parkvisitor.com/treasure.

Chat it upPark rangers are the park experts. Before you start your adventure, ask a ranger where their favorite spot is, how long it takes to get there, and why it’s special to them. Their favorite part of the park may become yours too.

Get smartLearn more about your park by stopping by the Visitor or Nature Center. Check to see if tours are offered, or take the time to read the placards, signs, and displays located throughout the park. What new fact will you take home with you?

For more great ideas, visit www.parkvisitor.com.

Let technology meet natureUse your GPS-enabled cell phone or wrist top computer to trace your steps while exploring your state park. Take pictures during your trip and then mark the waypoint on your device. Add the GPS tag to your photos when you post them to Flickr.com, Google maps or other web sites to show your photos tagged along the trail you walked.

More to Explore:• The Ultimate Field Guide to Travel Photography

by Scott S. Stuckey (National Geographic Books, 2010) offers additional photo tips. $21.95; http://shop.nationalgeographic.com.

• For more great images go to the individual park’s photo gallery at www.parks.ca.gov.

Simple tips for Great PhotosMake your park memories last with strong outdoor photography. Follow these tips from the managing editor of National Geographic Traveler magazine.

Get Up EarlyEarly morning and late afternoon offer “magic hour” light—rich in tone and low-angled, casting soft shadows that give definition and depth to your subjects. Midday light, on the other hand, casts harsh shadows, flattening your subjects.

Give it ScaleWhen shooting a mountain, meadow, body of water, snowscape, or other outdoor composition, add a sense of scale by including something of known size—whether a person, cabin, tree, or animal.

Tell a StoryShoot more than just scenery. Also get action shots of your loved ones enjoying the park: hiking, biking, setting up tents, preparing a meal, spreading out a trail map on a rock. Such pictures tell the story of your outing.
