I’ve spent endless hours playing in the waves, making sandcastles, and lounging in the sun because I genuinely love the beach season. The sensation of sand between your toes, the sound of breaking waves, and the salty breeze all have a certain allure that makes you feel incredibly happy. But in the middle of all the excitement, I recently discovered the mysterious purple flag, a puzzle I had never solved before.

The bright green indicates calm and safe waters, the blazing red signals strong currents, and even the sunny yellow warns us to exercise caution. We are all familiar with the beach’s flag language. For beachgoers like me who enjoy swimming in the wide blue ocean, each color has a story to tell and an important piece of knowledge. However, what exactly does purple represent? It’s not just any flag, so be ready to be taken aback, as I was.
