🌊 As summer comes to an end, so does another busy season for RNLI lifeguards on Brighton & Hove’s beaches.

This Sunday 6 September marks their final day of service for 2026, following an exceptionally busy and hot summer which saw hundreds of thousands of people head to the coast.

A huge thank you to the lifeguards who have worked tirelessly to keep people safe, carrying out rescues, providing first aid and casualty care, reuniting lost children with their families and sharing vital water safety advice. 👏💙

Heading to the coast after Sunday? Please take extra care without lifeguards on the beaches.

🛟 If you get into trouble in the water, remember Float to Live.

📱 If you see someone in difficulty, call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard.

Our volunteer lifeboat crew remains on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Stay safe and enjoy the coast.

We were tasked at 7.03pm on Tuesday (August 25) following reports of a person in the water near Palace Pier.

As the lifeboat arrived on scene, HM Coastguard confirmed the casualty had been recovered to shore and was being attended to by paramedics and Coastguard teams.

The lifeboat remained on scene while casualty assistance was confirmed before being stood down at 7.35pm.

Thank you to all emergency services involved.

Our volunteer crew were paged in the early hours of Monday morning following reports of a person in the water near Brighton Aquarium.

The lifeboat launch was cancelled after police safely recovered the person before our crew needed to launch.

Thank you to everyone who responded to the pager and to Sussex Police for their swift response.

Two call-outs in one evening for Brighton RNLI volunteers 🛟

Our volunteer crew responded to two incidents off Brighton on Sunday evening.

At 6.32pm, the crew were alerted following reports of a kayaker in difficulty near the end of Brighton Palace Pier after losing their paddle.

The kayaker was able to make their own way to the pier steps and reach a position of safety, with HM Coastguard standing the crew down before the lifeboat launched.

Later that evening, at 8.58pm, the crew were tasked following multiple 999 calls reporting a vessel close to shore near Rockwater.

Once on scene, the crew assessed the vessel and, after speaking with the person onboard, assistance was requested. A tow was assessed as the safest option and the vessel was towed back to Brighton Marina.

At the same time, emergency services were responding to a separate incident involving a person receiving CPR on the beach nearby.

A busy Sunday evening for our volunteers, who are ready to respond 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

If you see someone in difficulty at the coast, call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard.

And if you're heading out kayaking, remember to wear a buoyancy aid, check the weather and tides, and carry a means of calling for help that you can reach in an emergency.

Thank you to everyone who called 999 and raised the alarm. 💙

🚨 Two incidents in just over an hour for our Brighton RNLI volunteers on Tuesday evening.

At 7.58pm on August 4, our lifeboat was diverted from an exercise following reports of a person in the water near Sea Lanes. A swimmer helped the person safely ashore, where police and ambulance crews were in attendance.

Then, at 9.11pm, the crew were paged again after reports of a man struggling to return to shore near the Reading Rooms/Black Rock. An informant at the scene confirmed he had made it safely ashore before the lifeboat needed to launch.

A busy evening for our volunteers, who are ready to respond whenever the pager sounds. 💙

If you see someone in difficulty at the coast, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

Our lifeboat launched just after 11pm on Monday following reports of a person entering the water between Palace Pier and the i360 before disappearing from view.

The crew carried out shoreline searches alongside HM Coastguard. The casualty was later located further up the beach by Coastguard Rescue Team officers, with the lifeboat remaining on scene to provide lighting while casualty care was given.

The lifeboat was stood down a short time later.

If you ever see someone in difficulty at the coast, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
