Sauna Safety: Keep It Chill While Staying Hot

Before you dive into that steamy sanctuary, let’s talk about one of the most important things: staying safe. It starts with hydration—sounds basic, but trust us, it matters. A good sauna session will have you sweating buckets (in a good way), so make sure you drink plenty of water before and after to stay balanced and feel great.

Leave the boozy beach drinks for another time. Alcohol and saunas don’t mix—it messes with your ability to regulate body temperature and can leave you feeling dizzy or worse. And just in case it needs saying: never fall asleep in the sauna. If you feel unwell, lightheaded, or woozy at any point, step out, cool down, and rest. It's all about listening to your body.

Hot Tips for the Coolest Experience

One of the best parts of the Fire Salt and Sea experience is the cold plunge or sea dip after your sauna. It might feel intense at first, but trust us—embracing the cold is all part of the magic. That hot-to-cold contrast boosts circulation, wakes you up, and gives you a total body refresh.

Another tip? Bring your people. Saunas are way more fun when shared. Whether it's laughing with friends, chatting between rounds, or plunging into the sea together, the social side of sauna culture makes the whole thing more memorable (and sometimes, more motivating too!).

Disconnect, Respect & Reconnect

A sauna session is your perfect excuse to unplug. Leave your phone in your bag, forget the to-do list, and just be. Let the sound of the waves, the heat of the sauna, and the salty air clear your head. Think of it as a reset for your nervous system.

And while you’re enjoying the beach vibes, let’s all remember to respect our surroundings. Keep it clean, leave no trace, and follow any local guidelines for sauna use. We’re lucky to have this stunning spot on Worthing Beach—let’s look after it so everyone can enjoy it for years to come.
