Beach and Surf Patrol has sent an update. The flag is now YELLOW, today, March 21, 2019. Not bad for Easer Sunday! In honor of multi-colored Easter eggs…. let’s change the color again…. to Green! Come on mother nature. Help us out!

Always remember that you have to check the actual flag at the beach before entering the water!  Remember to always swim with caution and, an absence of flags DOES NOT mean the water is safe.

Depending on what end of the beach they start on, it can sometimes be a few hours before the flags are changed on this end of the beach.
