SANParks cautions beach goers

South African National Parks (SANParks) has cautioned all beach goers to swim in safe areas identified by lifeguards and always ensure that children are supervised by an adult when going for a swim.

'Our thoughts are with the family of the 6 year old who drowned yesterday and with the man who was stabbed on the beach' according to Paddy Gordon, Park Manager of the Garden Route National Park (GRNP).

All visitors are advised to exercise caution and to swim where and when lifeguards are on duty and only between red and yellow flags.

'We wish all our visitors a relaxed and peaceful visit to the GRNP.'
