    Beachgoers are warned with larges signs of a drone operating at Sawtell beach. The warning posters for the aerial operations states that they have the rationale to keep human beings safe. The unmanned aerial vehicle makes an irritating buzzing sound while flying over the heads of beachgoers.

The scarecrow in the sky, the jet skis and car on the sand make sure the beach is just for one species alone.
