Use the key in the top left to toggle on & off. Where to find, where to park and how to access.
- After low tide, keep an eye on incoming tide to ensure you don’t get cut off.
- Wherever possible, swim at a lifeguarded beach.
- Never swim alone.
- Do not use inflatables when windy or wind is blowing offshore. On some beaches there will be an orange windsock which indicates offshore winds.
- If you see someone in difficulty, don’t attempt a rescue. Tell a lifeguard, or, if you can’t see a lifeguard, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.
- Do not dig deep holes in sand or dig tunnels in sand. They might collapse.
- Be aware of the seagulls if you’re outside with food.
- Take your rubbish home, don’t try and cram more stuff into an already overflowing beach bin.
- There are occasional reports of substances such as palm oil being washed up on beaches. Some substances are poisonous to dogs.
- If you do find something on the beach, you have to log the item with the government’s Receiver of Wreck. Then, if nobody comes forward to claim the object after a year, you can keep it.
