Beach Lifeguards in Jersey<br />

Parking<br />

Beaches to<br />

choose from<br />

A team of professional lifeguards patrol key beaches from mid May to the end of <strong>September</strong>. Look out for the red<br />

and yellow flags which indicate the patrolled areas for swimming. Swim within the flags, but note that when a red<br />

flag is flying the conditions are dangerous and unsuitable for swimming. Jersey has some of the largest tidal flows in<br />

the world so take care when bathing or exploring the seashore. The beach lifeguard team is only too happy to advise<br />

swimmers regarding beach safety, please ask. The beaches patrolled are: St Ouen’s Bay, St Brelade’s Bay, Grève de<br />

Lecq, Plémont and Havre des Pas.<br />
