Always consider visiting a lifeguarded beach as they can offer information
about hazards to look out for at that beach, and give you more advice on how to interpret the flags
they have put in place.. For information about which beaches have lifeguards,
check
the Good Beach Guide.
Flags
and signs tell you important information about the beach area you are in, whether it is safe to swim,
if it is for surfing and pleasure craft and hazards in the area.
 | Red and yellow flags mark areas of water that are patrolled by lifeguards. These are the safest places to swim. |
 | Red flags indicate danger. Do not enter the water when the red flag is flying. |
 | Black and white chequered flags means an area of water has been marked for use by craft. For your own safety, do not swim in these zones |
