Coastal Codes

• Respect coastal wildlife — do not take any wildlife or natural items from the beach and avoid disturbing nesting birds.
• Consider other beach users.
• Keep a respectful distance between you and other beach users, especially when playing beach games.
• Do not feed the seagulls or leave food lying around. The more food there is, the more seagulls will come, and they can become aggressive.
• Stay safe on the beach rnli.org/safety.
• Keep yourself and other people safe by following water safety guidance, particularly when swimming.
• Leave no trace — please take your rubbish home with you or use the bins provided. Don't leave rubbish next to bins, this is littering and you may receive a fine.

In an Emergency

To report an incident around the coastline or at sea dial 999 in an emergency and ask for the coastguard.
