Never been there. Are there warnings posted about the dangers?

Send a message via Skype™ to Andrea J.
i can't say if i ever noticed signage around the baby beach stating rules/regs/warnings.

once a person enters the water, the area between the rocks and beyond the seawall is very visible.

folks must be made aware.

if this forum helps make at least someone aware~~ great!.

I don't remember seeing any signs but our guide with Green Zebra told us before he let any of us hit the water.
And like Andrea said, if those reading it here can spread the word and it saves someone...great!
Don't be afraid to stop someone if you are there and see someone heading out too far. If they go anyway at least you know you warned them.

I too had an incident at Baby Beach last year. It was not a particularly nice day and it had been raining. The current was a little rough. I was being pulled in the opposite direction. I am not a great swimmer and I think I did panic. When I got back to shore I was exhausted! I may visit Baby Beach again but only snorkel if the weather and the current are good.

We go out to BB every year to snorkel, we usually have beginners with us and we make a point to tell them not to get too close to the seawater opening,,,,,have been close myself and the current can be strong....

Sad this had to even be a discussion on the forum, but glad that is being talked about so others can heed the warning...
