Beach Scavenger Hunt<br />
SHUTTERSTOCK<br />
MARY CAROL FITZGERALD<br />
<strong>Naples</strong> and Marco Island have more than 14 miles of beaches along the Gulf of<br />
Mexico. Shelling on Marco’s beaches rival that of Sanibel Island and other popular<br />
shelling spots. Challenge your kids to find starfish, egg casings, sea glass, sand<br />
dollars, coral, and more while exploring the white sandy beaches. They will enjoy<br />
exploring the coastal environment and delight in having found a natural treasure to<br />
take home. And, who doesn’t love beach combing? One important caution: Make<br />
sure the shells your kids collect are not live (inhabited). Aside from the surprise you’ll<br />
get back home, it’s illegal to remove living shells from the beaches. This includes<br />
sand dollars, starfish, and sea urchins.<br />
CHECK IT OUT<br />
Scavenger Hunt List Suggestions:<br />
Three different kinds of shells.<br />
A feather.<br />
A unique piece of driftwood.<br />
A creature’s home<br />
(crab holes are a good one).<br />
Something swimming<br />
in the water. What is it?<br />
A whole sand dollar.<br />
A starfish.<br />
A piece of seaweed.<br />
A piece of coral.<br />
Three pieces of trash.<br />
A piece of sea glass.<br />
An egg casing.<br />
An animal track in the sand.<br />
What type of animal made<br />
the track?<br />
Count how many waves crash<br />
into shore in one minute.<br />
How many paces wide<br />
is the beach?<br />
Wade into the water. Time<br />
how long it takes for your<br />
feet to dry.<br />

Florida<br />
Sunshine Survival Tips<br />
There’s a reason why Florida is known as the “Sunshine<br />
State”. This subtropical state has year-round sunshine making<br />
it gorgeous for a vacation, but it can catch visitors unawares<br />
if they are not taking some precautions. Dehydration, heat<br />
exhaustion, sunburn, and sunstroke can spoil your vacation,<br />
yet they are very easy to avoid by following our Florida<br />
Sunshine Survival Tips.<br />
Wear Cool Loose Clothing The best way<br />
to stay cool is by wearing clothing that is loose fitting<br />
and preferably made of cotton or natural fabrics. Loose<br />
dresses, shirts, tops, and shorts are preferable to jeans and<br />
tight-fitting clothing if you are to stay looking and feeling<br />
cool and comfortable. Swap shoes and sneakers for open<br />
sandals. If you still feel hot and sweaty, use a handheld<br />
fan. When the body sweats it loses fluid, salt, and minerals.<br />
Water depletion can cause a dry mouth, headaches, and fainting while symptoms of salt depletion include muscle spasms,<br />
cramps, and vomiting.<br />
<strong>Do</strong>n’t Overdo the Sunshine Heat stroke technically occurs when the body’s core temperature reaches<br />
105°F or above. It can cause nausea, confusion, disorientation, seizures, fainting, cramps, and shallow breathing as the<br />
body struggles to cool itself. Anyone showing these symptoms should be treated as a medical emergency. Remove<br />
any unnecessary clothing, cool the body by bathing with a cool wash cloth or put them in a cool air-conditioned room<br />
and seek medical advice. Give the sufferer plenty of cool drinks of water and monitor their symptoms carefully.<br />
Lather up with SPF Sunscreen Frequently Most Florida visitors diligently apply sunscreen<br />
first thing in the morning when they hit the beach. However, sunscreen does not last all day. The Sun Protection Factor<br />
(SPF) indicates how much longer you can stay in the sun so SPF 15 means that a person who burns in 5 minutes is<br />
theoretically protected for 75 minutes. However, it is recommended that you reapply sun lotion every two hours and<br />
after you have been in the pool or sea. Sunscreen does not just prevent your skin from burning; it also screens out harmful<br />
ultra violet rays that can cause skin cancer. UVA rays cause wrinkles and premature aging, while UVB rays burn the skin, so<br />
choose a good quality sunscreen that keeps them both at bay.<br />
Drink Plenty of Water Keeping your fluid intake high to counter the heat is important, however, drinking<br />
beer or alcoholic drinks can actually leave you more dehydrated than ever. If you drink a glass of beer your body will actually<br />
expel three times that amount leaving you dangerously dehydrated. The more alcohol you drink, the more dehydrated<br />
you will become as alcohol affects the body’s fluid levels. Eating salty snacks is another way to cause the body to lose fluid<br />
from its cells, and sugar-high sodas and sports drinks create a similar problem. You need to drink pure water throughout<br />
the day to counter dehydration, and avoid sweet or alcoholic drinks until the cooler evening. A tip for measuring whether<br />
you are drinking enough is to check you are visiting the bathroom as frequently as usual.<br />
We want you to enjoy every minute of your vacation in southwest Florida, so make sure you pay attention to these sunshine<br />
survival tips and stay cool and healthy!<br />
