Beaching your boat offshore is great for when you want to picnic on the beach or just enjoy the sun. When you beach your boat just offshore you are much less likely to damage your boat, but there are still some possible hazards:. If you use the proper technique, you can avoid almost all of these risks.
Most of these hazards happen because boaters are in a hurry, inexperienced, or fail to pay sufficient attention to details. However, even if you follow this technique exactly, there is always a danger of changing winds or tides creating a problem. In order to lessen the risk of getting stuck, the goal of beaching your boat just off the beach is to end up with the bow pointing towards the open water and away from the shore.
