TL;DR

August reports mention strong morning low tides, sharp coral and rocks, and unusually hot seawater at Coral Beach. Wear water shoes, and ask lifeguards about water conditions before swimming if dead fish or squid are washing ashore.

What the community said

At Coral Beach in August, visitors reported dead fish and squid washing ashore. One traveler associated this with overheated seawater, so check with lifeguards before entering the water if you see this.

Small dead squid were also seen at Coral in July when the water was especially warm; the same traveler had not noticed this in other seasons. Summer heat can significantly affect sea conditions.

Strong morning low tides can expose coral and sharp rocks, creating a risk of cuts. Bring water shoes for Coral Beach and enter the sea only from an area checked by lifeguards.

Water shoes; strong morning low tide

According to visitor reports, lifeguards were providing first aid for cuts caused by coral and rocks during strong low tides. Avoid walking barefoot in the shallows, especially in the morning.
