This weekend in Palanga is ideal for sunbathing and swimming. The air temperature at the seashore on Saturday afternoon reached 25 degrees. From morning people rushed to go to the beaches.
As Jonas Pirožnikas, the commander of the Palanga rescue station, said, at noon the beaches were still not completely full. But an influx of tourists is expected.
He calculated that there could be around a couple hundred thousand people who came to the complex.
“Because all hotels are reserved. We are ready, we are working at full capacity, intensified this weekend, like last year. The 70 rescuers work without interruption. We will take a break after this weekend, ”he explained.
According to J.Pirožnik, there were no incidents on Friday and Saturday in the first half of the day.
Among the recommendations for those who enjoy sunbathing on the beaches: put on your hat, drink enough water, do not drink alcohol.
“We announce it through loudspeakers on the beaches of Palanga and Šventoji so that vacationers keep their distance. Some, we see, stick to it, where distance is not observed in some places, ”said J.Pirožnikas.
Speaking about the use of masks on the beaches, the commander of the Palanga rescue station said that in his opinion, it was better to maintain a safe distance than to be with masks.
“It just came to our knowledge then. Because there is fresh air, there is wind, people get iodine from the sea. And now being with the mask … That is my opinion – I would say no. It is better to keep your distance than to wear masks. “said J.Pirožnikas.
