Know Your Flags

KNOW YOUR FLAGS.
WHAT THE DIFFERENT FLAGS
ON THE BEACH MEAN.

Red and yellow flags mark areas of water that are patrolled by lifeguards. These are the safest places to swim.



When you see black and white chequered flags, it means an area
of water has been marked for use by craft. For your own safety,
do not swim in these zones.




The red flag indicates danger.
Never enter the water when the red
flag is flying.





An orange windsock flying at the beach indicates that wind conditions are especially dangerous – so under no circumstances should you take an inflatable into the sea.

REMEMBER: never enter the water when you see a red flag flying.
