Rip currents; the National Weather Service posts statements for Lee County's Gulf beaches, and the standard escape is to swim along the shoreline until clear of the pull, The state's Healthy Beaches program samples this beach for bacteria, and the county health department has posted both red tide and bacteria swim advisories here in recent years
