About this beach word search
- Most beach sand is made of tiny grains of rock and minerals, especially quartz, worn down over thousands of years.
- Tides are caused mainly by the Moon's gravity, and most coastlines see two high tides and two low tides about every 25 hours.
- Sunscreen should be reapplied at least every two hours, and right after swimming or sweating.
- Safety tip: teach kids to swim near a lifeguard and to swim parallel to the shore if they are ever caught in a rip current.
