“Beach”

Lifeguards and lifesavers have renewed their call for everyone to swim between the famous red and yellow flags as the season begins.

A longer and hotter summer season is going to make a swim more enticing than ever, but beachgoers are being warned a dip in the ocean can be deadly if they aren’t swimming in patrolled areas.

A number of improvements will be made to lifeguard services between Caloundra and Coolum to ensure Sunshine Coast beaches are even safer under the Surf Life Saving Queensland – Sunshine Coast Council Lifeguard Service Plan 2023-2028.
