Beach Tips


Beach and Watersport Basics
If Someone needs rescue:
  • Remove the victim from the water.
  • Have someone call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number.
  • Check if victim is conscious and breathing.
  • If victim is not breathing, open the airway and attempt rescue breathing.
  • If breaths do not go in, re-tilt the head and attempt rescue breathing again.
  • If air still does not go in, give abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) for both children and adults to clear the airway.
  • Once the airway is clear, provide rescue breathing or CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) as needed.
Never Swim Alone.
Swim in supervised areas.
Dangerous Safety Too's:
  • Too tired
  • Too cold
  • Too far from safety
  • Too much sun
  • Too much strenuous activity.
Don't eat or chew gum while you swim: Swimming while you are chewing gum or have other things in your mouth could cause you to start choking,
Swimming after eating: In general, you do not have to wait an hour after eating before you may safely swim. However, if you have had a large meal, it is wise to let digestion get started before doing strenuous activity such as swimming.
Know the local conditions: Take the time to check the local conditions before you go in the water. Weather, or other, conditions far out in the ocean or by unseen changes to the ocean bottom may present an unseen hazzard.. By checking with the lifeguards, or other knowledgeable individuals, you can find out if there are any dangerous conditions present before you enter the water. Knowing the water temperature and quality, high and low tides, wind and swell direction, surf conditions, and other information concerning the ocean will make for safer decisions on what you do at the beach.
Bleeding: Don't play in the ocean if you are bleeding. National geographic reports - Great whites can detect one drop of blood in 25 gal (100 L) of water and can sense even tiny amounts of blood in the water up to 3 mi (5 km) away.

Seafood and lots of it is consumed by Outer Banks natives and our guest in huge quantities yearly. Living on the Atlantic coast has blessed the Outer Banks with recipes passed down one generation to the next.

Our visitors delight not only in the excellent dining here on the Banks; but also in our fishing history and lore.

Great recipes from Outer Banks Natives and OBX Chefs.
