BEACHES: Heading to the beach or river this bank holiday weekend? Have fun, make memories, but please stay safe.

If you get into trouble in the water :
* Tilt your head back, with your ears submerged
* Relax and try to breathe normally
* Move your hands and feet to help you stay afloat
* It’s fine if your legs sink; we all float differently

In an emergency at the coast, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

There have been a few reports this summer, where jet-skiers have nearly endangered swimmers and beach users, so if you're going out on the water with a jet ski, please know the rules/tips around appropriate jet-skiing:

🌊 Pick a suitable and quiet location on the beach to launch - safest launch beaches include: Sea Palling, Vale Road, Cart Gap - note, there is a privately-managed launching service available at Sea Palling
⭕ Control your speed and keep it as low as possible close to the shore - the speed limit is 8 knots within 175 metres of the beach.
🏊‍♀️ Don't jet ski, or launch, where people are swimming, and don't jet ski near lifeguarded beaches
🚨 Watercraft activity is often monitored by the RNLI lifeguard services and Norfolk Coastwatch stations - dangerous and inappropriate behaviour will be reported to Norfolk Police
🛟 Enjoy North Norfolk's waters safely and wear appropriate safety equipment including a buoyancy aid.
