Orientation bracelets
Using the free orientation bracelets (available at lifeguard posts, first aid posts and the tourist office), a child that is lost will be right back where it came from. The bracelets provide space to write the name of the little beach visitor and the mobile number of the parent by using a simple pen.
A beach accessible to everyone
In July and August, disabled people can freely get a special beach wheelchair in the first aid posts on the beaches of De Haan, Wenduine and Vosseslag.
