3 Ways You Can “Beach Safe” on Alabama’s Beaches:⬇️

🚩Check the beach flags before heading out to a day of play on the beach. You can do this by signing up for text alerts, calling 251-968-SURF (7873) for Gulf Shores and 251-981-SURF (7873) for Orange Beach, or visiting our website.

🌊Be aware of rip currents. They are easiest to spot in the gaps between the waves. Look for discolored water with a substantial amount of sediment. Be extra careful near sand bars, piers, pilings, and jetties.

☀️Practice sun safety. Pack and apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every 2 hours. Children need additional protection, so be sure to pack a hat and apply their sunscreen more frequently. It is also important to stay hydrated while spending a day in the sun.
