Every Perth local has done it - the 'beach dash' - the moment beach-goers disregard their own safety and sprint barefoot between the car park and the sweet relief of the Indian Ocean.
But one Fremantle local won't be forgetting her beach dash in a hurry.

How to stay safe in the sun
Mark Strickland from the Cancer Council WA shares his top five tips to stay safe in the sun this summer.
The woman was running across sand on Wednesday afternoon - when temperatures peaked at 43 degrees - as she realised the consequences of going barefoot.
The woman's soles developed horrific blisters, and covered almost all the balls of her feet.

Friend Vicky Boxell posted a photograph of the damage to social media, and warned local beach-goers about the dangers of going without shoes while crossing Perth's hot sand.
Both of the woman's feet have since been bandaged as a result of the horrific damage, and a warning was posted with the picture.
"Don't forget your thongs on the beach. It may only be a few metres but that skin under the arch and toes is pretty tender," Ms Boxell said.
Ms Boxell also warned pet owners to check the temperature of the pavement and sand before walking across it - because our furry friends can be affected too.
RSPCA WA chief executive officer David van Ooran has previously offered advice on how best to minimise the risk of burning a pet's paws as Perth's temperatures climb for summer.
"Consider the temperature before exercising your pet, check the pavement by placing your hand or bare foot on it and if it is too hot for you then don't expect your dog to walk on it,"
"The best time of the day for walks is dawn or dusk when the pavement is cooler so the pads on their paws won't burn and the heat is less intense."
