Have you ever thought of buying a GPS tracker, for a bout 165 euros, your child can be tracked through the GPS system. This system works perfectly for animals, and handicapped people, people suffering with Alzheimer and everybody that needs some extra guidance in life.

Back to the subject of the beach, did you know that children always tend to walk in the direction that the wind blows, and with the sun on their back?  So if you need to start searching, walk in that direction.

Always explain to your child what to do when he or she gets lost, and set a fixed point of recognition. Like a flag or restaurant nearby.
