Vamos a la playa

Some conservation compartments offer strictly-limited leisure visits. We can even go to the beach!

00:36
Some conservation compartments are also Parks,
and as such are popular leisure-time visits.
00:43
There's a balance to be struck between leisure and
conservation, so visits and numbers are
00:48
strictly controlled on a round-robin basis.
00:53
A leisure visit to a conservation compartment of no
more than one hour can be booked from the Exchange.
01:02
Occasional Community Service tasks in conservation
compartments is another way of spending time in Parks.
01:09
These tasks rarely count as "leisure" and
can be hard, unpleasant work!
01:15
Additionally, community service in Parks is popular
so waiting lists can be long.
01:21
Some parks can be viewed in passing from the
route connecting the compartment to the Way it's in,
01:27
subject to the demands of traffic, and
reasonable care and attention.
01:32
There is - for example - a beach
in one of our maritime conservation compartments.
01:39
It has an intertidal zone and mechanically-generated
waves just large enough to surf on.
01:45
The conserved area features additional
ultraviolet lighting strong enough around
01:50
midday that protecting exposed skin is advised.
01:54
There is a lifeguard station - and a lifeguard
on duty - near the beach.
02:01
"Vamos a la playa" can be heard at New Albion!
