A short guide to beach safety

 

  • Make sure you are not in danger, read safety and information notices, check tide times; do not get cut off by an incoming tide.
  • Beware of larger than usual waves if you are on rocks near the waters edge, this is an especially dangerous location for young children.
  • Watch children in your care continuously.
  • It can be dangerous to take inflatables into the sea.
  • Do not swim:
    • If you do not feel well
    • For at least an hour after meals
    • After drinking alcohol
    • When lifeguard patrolled beaches have a red flag flying
  • On high ground keep away from the cliff edge.
Also:
  • Please do not remove sea weed from rocks, take home shells with creatures still in them, do not remove rocks and pebbles from the beach area.
  • Please remove all litter and take it with you to dispose of safely and hygienically.
