Your Guide to Enjoying the Beaches of the Costa Blanca Safely

Welcome to the Costa Blanca, where the golden sands and blue seas offer endless fun and relaxation. To ensure you and your loved ones stay safe while enjoying the beach, we’ve put together some essential tips and information.

Beach Flag Warnings

Understanding the beach flags is crucial for your safety:

Red Flag

No swimming. Dangerous conditions exist.

Yellow Flag

Swim with caution. Be aware of potential hazards.

Green Flag

Safe to swim, but always stay alert.

Recognizing Rip Tide Currents

Rip tide currents can be strong and dangerous. Here’s how to stay safe:

  • If caught in a rip tide, remain calm and swim parallel to the shore until you’re free from the current.
  • Avoid swimming against the current as it can tire you quickly.
  • Always swim near a lifeguard.

Swimming Safety Tips

  • Swim with a Buddy: Never swim alone. Always have someone with you.
  • Stay Close to Shore: Keep within your swimming ability and near the shore.
  • Swim Near Lifeguards: Choose beaches with lifeguards on duty and follow their instructions.
  • Check Weather Conditions: Always check the weather forecast before heading to the beach.
  • Hydration and Sun Protection: Bring plenty of water to stay hydrated and apply sunscreen regularly.

Child Safety

  • Supervise Children Constantly: Always keep an eye on children when they are in or near the water.
