Always utilize designated boardwalks, concrete paths, or beach mats installed by park services. When walking on the open sand, map a route that utilizes shadows cast by cliffs, piers, or lifeguard towers. Test the Surface First
Park as close to the beach access ramp as possible. Walk on the wooden boardwalk or asphalt path until the absolute last second. Asphalt gets hot, but it doesn't hold heat as long as sand because asphalt is smooth and you can move fast.
Utilize the wet, compacted sand near the water line for walking or running, as it remains significantly cooler than the dry sand further up the beach.
If you or a companion experience sand burns, immediate action prevents deeper tissue damage.
