Rip currents, sometimes called “rip tides,” are dangerous. They pull swimmers under water and away from shore. If caught in a rip current, you may escape by swimming parallel to the shore and out of the current.

Ocean City, Maryland is a barrier
island. In 1933, a storm washed away
this part of the island, opening a
connection between the “bayside” and
“oceanside” parts of Ocean City. Before that event 2 parts of
the island were connected.

These jetties, also called
groins, block the sand from moving down
the beach.
