Lifeguarded beaches
232 of the 941 designated bathing waters on this site have an RNLI lifeguard unit, with today’s sewage and water quality checks for each one.
Checking…A unit here does not mean anyone is on duty today. The RNLI publishes where its units are, and nothing about when they are staffed — no dates, no season, no hours. Lifeguards work a season, and on most beaches a short one. Check the RNLI’s own page for a beach before you rely on it.
A beach missing from this list may still be lifeguarded. These are the RNLI’s own units. Councils and clubs run patrols of their own and they are not in this data.
