In the summer months there is a 300m marker which you are supposed to stay beyond. In winter the bouys are removed, what you must do at anytime when approaching the beach is to go very slow at a right angle to the beach.

As for beaching it or a bouy, depends where I am and how long you intend to stay. Beaching a new 15,000 ski is also a little different to a 5,000 one.

Tricky part is stopping the motor in time.
