Beach Safety Information

• Always keep an eye on the tide’s direction whilst on the beach. 
• Be aware that you can get cut off on the estuary quickly.
• Don’t walk too far out. Look out for slippery rocks, offshore winds and other water users.
• Wear footwear to avoid treading on sharp objects.
• If you get into trouble and need help, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. 
• There are 18 yellow, emergency-only telephones along the seafront. There is a First Aid Post at Leigh Bell Wharf.
