    Very Tragic incident n a young life vanished in water. Unfortunately most youngsters these days, do not want to listen to seniors when advised n results are here. Still worse is that these students have missed out on examinations n have come to the beach.All warnings verbally and and being displayed on boards on most beaches about danger in swimming go to a deaf ear & blind eyes. Look at the end results, so sad.!!

    Very Sad Incident. I visited the beach last weekend and Life guards were strict and not allowed anyone to even stand near the waves forget swimming. Still there were people disobeying them and going to sea with little infants. Costly Lesson learned.
