Linking all of the issues of beach management for amenity purposes is the need to convey information to beach users in a
clear and effective way such that it is easily understood. This is primarily via signage at the beach, but it also involves
using public awareness and education campaigns and providing information via the Internet. However, it is also
acknowledged that issues at the beach will vary from location to location both within a country and between countries.
Therefore, when considering the management of beach amenity, it is important to first understand what the perceived
amenity of a beach is through such mechanisms as beach-user surveys and video monitoring.
