The 2026 Emerald Isle Lifeguard team has been proud to serve our community and everyone who visited our beaches this summer!

Although many members of our team have moved on to new jobs or returned to college, our season isn’t over yet. A few of us will continue patrolling the beach throughout September. If you see us, feel free to stop and say hello, ask us a question, or give us a friendly wave!

We’re geared up and ready for Labor Day weekend. Before heading to the beach,
remember:
• Check the beach conditions and warning flags before entering the water.
• If caught in a rip current, remain calm, float, signal for help, and swim parallel to shore when able.
• Stay hydrated, take breaks from the sun, and watch for signs of heat-related illness.
• Shuffle your feet when entering the water to help avoid stepping on stingrays.
• Always designate a responsible water watcher. That means phones down and eyes on the water!
• Know your location and have someone prepared to call 911 during an emergency. Alert the nearest lifeguard immediately if one is present.

Enjoy the holiday weekend, look out for one another, and remember: when in doubt, don’t go out!
