Important Things to Remember!
- Always check the actual flag at the beach before entering the water!
- Always swim with caution!
- 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, so if you aren’t sure, check multiple beach flag sources! (See below)
