• Sun Protection: Ensure there are shaded areas or tents to protect the kids from the sun.
• Safety First: Always have a lifeguard on duty or ensure adult supervision near water activities.
• Local Permits: Some beaches may require permits for events. It's advisable to check with local authorities or the venue beforehand.
• Eco-Friendly Practices: Opt for biodegradable decorations and avoid single-use plastics to keep Bali's beaches beautiful.
