'Proper way'? This is OSM ... any tags you like :)

Probably best to have it as a separate way .. they may not cover the 
whole beach ???

Working around the problem .. use opening_hours=* ... has a free text 
mode so you can just add it in text. Or you can try for more detailed 
stuff...


Arr then there is conditional

/lifeguard at conditional=yes @ spring;summer ????/
