⚠️ SafetyJellyfish season during hot summer months (April–June); box jellyfish stings can be fatal, especially for those with underlying medical conditions — one fatality recorded at Sta. Fe beach in June 2023. BFAR-7 advises wearing rash guards or applying anti-jellyfish lotion. Most beaches lack lifeguards (Baigad Lagoon Beach has lifeguards for a fee). No major rip current warnings reported, but seas can become rough during wet season (July–August). Paradise Beach entrance via stairs built into small cliffs — exercise caution.
