The strong waves during high tide can be forceful and pull swimmers into the underwater holes. Exercise caution and avoid swimming during high tide.
Its growing popularity highlights the need for stricter supervision and regulations. Hopefully, the LGU of Burgos or Agno will implement safety measures to ensure a fun and injury-free experience...
