Ocean Rescue protects a one-mile stretch of beach. Lifeguards are present from 9:00AM until 5:00PM 365 days a year.
All Ocean Rescue personnel are American Red Cross certified in lifeguard training and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We also have one All Terrain Vehicle (ATV), and hand-held radios that are linked directly to the Police Substation.
We strive to make our residents feel and know they are safe at all times on our beach.
Remember that ocean conditions can change quickly. Check with the lifeguard on duty if you are unsure of safe conditions. Swim only in front of a lifeguard-protected area; the ocean is always potentially hazardous.
