The Sea Pulls Back
Sometimes the sea pulls back very far and leaves wet sand, rocks, and boats exposed. If that happens, go inland or climb to higher ground right away.

In the picture
- Wet exposed sand: the seabed left uncovered as the sea pulls back
- A tilted boat: resting on sand where water used to be
- A thin white line at the horizon: a distant wave edge
- People moving up a grassy hill: leaving the shore and going higher
Examples
- The shoreline suddenly looks much wider, with rocks and shells where water used to be.
- You are at the beach and the water slides back far past its usual edge.
Key takeaways
- A sudden retreat of the sea is a warning.
- Move inland or to higher ground immediately.
