Hi everyone….

Memorial Day is right around the corner and that means the Oceanfront and area beaches will start to get packed.  Before you head out to have a little fun in the sun, check out my video report on Beach Safety.  Have a plan before you head out.  Everyone needs sunscreen, sunglasses, lots of water, a picture ID, and a cell phone.  I have set up a link on WAVY.COM for more information and a checklist. 

10 On Your Side wants you and your family to be safe this summer season.  I interviewed Bruce Nedelka with Virginia Beach EMS who says enjoy the beach but take a few moments to make a plan and think about what you’re doing. 

Basically, think about your safety first so you and your family can have a lot of fun in the sun at the beach.
