☀️ As the weather warms up, we know many people will be heading to the beach to cool off but please stay safe around the water.

Jumping or “tombstoning” from the harbour pier may look fun, but it can be extremely dangerous. Conditions in the harbour can change quickly and hidden risks are not always visible from above.

⚠️ Shallow water and hidden objects can cause serious injury
⚠️ Strong currents and tides can pull swimmers away unexpectedly
⚠️ Cold water shock can affect breathing and movement within seconds
⚠️ Boat traffic in the harbour creates additional danger

If you choose to enter the water:
✅ Always check the depth first
✅ Enter feet first and never dive head first
✅ Never jump under the influence of alcohol or drugs
✅ Stay with friends and look out for each other
✅ Keep clear of boats and harbour traffic
✅ In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard

Please enjoy the sunshine responsibly and help keep everyone safe around the harbour this summer. 🌊☀️
