🚨 Warning: Slippery Black Rocks Hazard 🚨 Black rocks along the coast of Esperance, Western Australia, pose serious dangers. Visitors are strongly advised to avoid them due to: 🌊 Slippery Surfaces: Black algae that is unique to the south coast and covers the rocks is grippy when dry but turns extremely slippery when wet, like ice. 🌊 Sudden Waves: Large waves can appear without warning, washing over the area. 🌊 Drowning Risks: Many drownings involve those who are unaware of the dangers. 🌊 Other Dangers: Rock fishing, taking selfies, and wearing inappropriate footwear increase risks. Safety Tips: ❌ Never turn your back to the ocean. ⭕️ If washed off the rocks, stay calm and swim away from them. ⭕️ If caught in a rip, stay calm, raise an arm for help, and float with the current until it releases you. If you see someone walking on the black rocks, say something – you might save their life. Stay safe, share this post and for more information visit esperancecoastalsafety.com.au
