What the flags mean

Every patrolled beach flies a flag from the lifeguard tower. It tells you what the water is doing today.

Swim between the flags

Two red and yellow flags mark the area the lifeguards are watching. Outside that area nobody is watching you. The flags move during the day as conditions change, so check where they are each time you go in, not just when you arrive.
