RNLI lifeguard cover ending at some Cornwall beaches
Safety precautions urged as lifeguard cover concludes
Lifeguard coverage provided by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is set to conclude at several beaches in Cornwall on 6th September 2026.
Visitors to the coast are advised to exercise caution and check weather conditions and tide times before heading out to enjoy the coastline.
To ensure safety, the recommendation is to opt for beaches with lifeguard presence when available and to be familiar with water safety measures.
In cases where someone is in danger in the water, individuals should call 999 and request help from the Coastguard.
For personal safety, remembering the phrase #FloatToLive can be vital in water-related emergencies.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to enjoy the coast responsibly and safely.
