Getting Lost

The easiest way to avoid getting lost on the beach is to stick together. However, lots of people do get lost every year, so here are some ways to reduce the risks.

When you get to the beach, agree a meeting point with your parents or carers. Then if you’re separated you can all head to that place. A good place to meet is the lifeguarded station if it’s close by. If you haven’t agreed a meeting point, nd your nearest lifeguard and ask them for help.

Some people also use wristbands that parents or carers can write their mobile number on. If you get lost while wearing the wristband, someone can call them to tell them where you are. Some beaches even provide free wristbands!
