“As a team using sand spears, breathing apparatus, spades and surfboards, we were able to ensure this was a happy ending.

This could easily have resulted in crushing or suffocation. Please do not dig huge holes in the sand, the sand is partially crumbling and the dry weight is about a ton per cubic meter.

“You won’t dig a hole in the garden and let your kids climb in; please don’t do that on the beach either.”
