This may sound like an inane suggestion, but I sincerely hope the island's hotels and resorts are posting this warning at their front desks and prominently within the hotels so their guests will see it.

I'm reminded of the poster here who mentioned injuries to an older beach-goer and also a young child that was swept out of the arms of a parent the other day at Mullet Bay. We often think things are so obvious yet when on vacation, all too often our brains go right out the window and we fail to think about what might go wrong or of realities such as the northerly swells and what they're capable of. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
