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.
