2.Relax and swim parallel to the shoreline. Rip currents don’t take you under, they take you further out to sea. Most are only about 50 meters (approx. 160 feet) wide. If you swim parallel to the shoreline, you will eventually swim out of the rip current and can then swim to shore.
3. Don’t exhaust yourself! If you feel yourself getting tired, float on your back or tread water, then wave and yell for help.
8.Don’t assume calm water is the safest place to swim The area where you don’t see waves breaking is usually where a rip current is located. If you are unsure about the conditions, ask someone! Don't assume that your swimming skill level is enough to get through a rip current.

7.Never allow any child to go in the water unattended! If you are more than a foot away, you are too far.

Indicate moderate hazards and that the public should use caution in the ocean. Even the calmest of days on the beach can pose an inherent risk when entering the ocean and the public is always advised to use caution.

From heading miles offshore to target the summertime billfish to checking out the two local oceanfront piers, there are am ple ways for fishermen to get their lines
After getting your fishing license, you will want to have some bait on hand! In the summertime, you can catch your own bait by digging in the wet sand close to the ocean wash for “sand diggers” or “sand fleas," which are great bait for mul let and bluefish. Use shrimp and crab meat to catch Red Drum. If you're using shrimp or live bait try the "popping cork" method using a small weight and letting the shrimp dangle underneath the water.

The Crystal Coast is a well-known para dise for anglers, thanks to miles of water in every direction, and a famed distinction as the locale for some of the biggest fish ing tournaments along the East Coast.
The first thing that you will need to fish in North Carolina waters is a Coastal Rec reational Fishing License. This license ap plies to all anglers over the age of 16 who want to fish along the beaches. This fish ing license is very inexpensive and easy to obtain. A 10-Day license costs $5 for state residents and $10 for out-of-state anglers. There is also the option of an annual li cense which costs $15 for state residents and $30 for out-of-state residents. If you are visiting, you can pick up your fishing license by visiting [NCWildlife.org] or stop ping by any local bait and tackle shop.

PACK IT UP: Tents, toys, chairs, and other beach gear should not be left out overnight. They can be hazardous to mother turtles and their babies.

LEVEL THE SAND: Be sure to fill in holes and knock down sandcastles before you leave the beach. Turtles can get stuck or injured in them while laying their eggs or heading out to sea.
LIGHTS OUT: Any exterior lights on the oceanside should be kept to a minimum. They distract turtles and keep hatchlings from reaching the sea. Their instinct is to head towards light, where the moon guides them to the sea.
