Spring is Here … Along With a Beach Safety Reminder!

We’re into the Spring Bank Holiday! The beach is buzzing with walkers, water-sports enthusiasts and visitors, so it’s time for a useful beach safety reminder (or two)!

Yes, as well as visitors, Spring also brings unpredictable weather, extreme tides and other wonders of nature to the local coastlines. So the time is right to get some beach safety reminder messages going. And, as usual, some of our volunteers have some useful #beachaware safety messages this week.

First up, our Jo (below) has something to say about checking out those tides …

Meanwhile, our other Jo  (smiling below) has a beach safety reminder about those rockfalls and crumbling cliff faces. These continue to be a regular hazard along our Cliff End beach here at Pett Level and it’s certainly the season for rockfalls.

Please remember that crumbling cliffs can can put you at risk whether you’re at the top, or the bottom of the cliff. This is particularly the case locally and the cliff line changes very quickly. Please be mindful of local risks and also keep dogs away from the cliff line. If your dog is unpredictable or recall is poor, keep it on the lead.

And the biggest beach safety reminder? Plan for any possibility by always bringing a charged mobile phone with you so you can alert emergency services and the coastguards.

You can also find out more about the hazards and risks at Pett Level and other local beaches by visiting our BEACH SAFETY PAGE.

IT COSTS MORE THAN £10k A YEAR TO KEEP OUR RESCUE BOAT CHARITY AFLOAT
