An important message from Newquay Coastguard Rescue team.
Everyone here at Newquay Coastguard Rescue Team would like to welcome you all to Newquay, Cornwall & Boardmasters ! We just wanted to remind you of a few important coastal safety tips to help ensure you have an amazing weekend ๐
Lifeguards
Always swim at a lifeguarded beach, standard patrol hours are 10am - 6pm.
Listen to lifeguard instructions and follow their advice, for more info go to: https://rnli.org/water-safety/beach-safety
Whipsiderry Beach
Whipsiderry steps to the beach ( between the festival site & Porth Beach), are closed to the public due to dangerous falling cliffs, please do not try to access this beach. The gate at the top of the steps is locked for your safety.
Coastal Emergencies
If someone is injured, has fallen or become trapped, needs help, or is in any form of difficulty along the coast, dial 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard, do not attempt to rescue them yourself.
Disposable BBQโs
Due to the exceptionally dry conditions and the risk of fire at present, please do not light disposal BBQโs on any of the beaches or along the coast.
We hope you have an incredible time at the festival this weekend! ๐
Stay safe ๐
