Attention! Lebak BPBD Officer Reminds Tourists Not To Swim On The South Beach

JAKARTA – In order to prevent marine accidents, the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Lebak Regency, Banten asked tourists who are on weekend holidays on the South Coast not to swim in the sea. "We hope that this warning can be obeyed by tourists," said the Head of the Emergency and Logistics of the Lebak Regency Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Agus Reza Faizal, quoting Antara, Sunday, March 27. According to Agus, the southern waters of Lebak are still dangerous for swimming because the waves reach 2.5 meters high. In addition, strong winds and rain were added. Of course, Agus assesses that the condition is dangerous for tourists who swim in that location. "We ask tourists not to swim, for fear of being dragged by high waves," he explained.

They are tourists who come from various areas in Banten Province as well as a number of areas in West Java and DKI Jakarta. For that, tourists can obey the warning not to swim because it can cause casualties. The head of the Tirta Tourism Rescue Agency (Balawista) of Lebak Regency, Erwin Komara Sukma, said that his party was spreading its members to provide security and safety for tourists who vacation on the south coast, including Sawarna and Bagedur Beach.

"We allow swimming in safe locations, but don't go in the middle for fear of being dragged by the waves," he explained.
