What struck me as odd was the use of 'water contact activities'. Although it is relatively clear that it refers to activities involving coming into contact with the sea, wheneve
r 'water' collocates with 'contact', it usually has to do with the state of waterproof-ness of an item, or type of material, or if water contact will result in a reaction of some sort. I feel that more common signs, or those we are more familiar with include those which simply say, 'Keep out', or 'Keep out of water', like the one on the immediate left.
