WATER SAFETY NOTICE
Beach, coast or sea: think 999 Coastguard
All maritime agencies are warning of an extremely busy summer season on all waterways and coastlines due to the on-going holiday travel restrictions and staycation boom. Many people are unfamiliar with the coast or the dangers involved in certain pastimes and water recreational activities.
Visiting the coast can be great fun, from cliff walking, swimming or just relaxing at the beach. To get the most out of your trip, have fun, and stay safe, make sure you check the weather and tides before heading out, wear appropriate footwear and clothing for your activity, know the sea conditions and stick to coastal paths. Also, make sure you tell someone where you are going and when you will be back.
Please take extra care during these extraordinary times and don’t take unnecessary risks. Follow your nation’s guidance at all times.
