FBOR is here with an important reminder:
🚨Stay away from jetties🚨

We understand how tempting it is to venture across these rocks. However, jetties are not designed for recreational activities and pose several dangers.

⚠️At low tide, the rocks may seem like a safe place to explore, but that can quickly change as the tide comes in. This often leaves people stranded on the rocks as the tide covers the way back to shore.

🌊In addition, waves can be irregular and unpredictable, causing individuals to be pushed into sharp, barnacle-covered rocks and suffer serious injuries.

❗Thinking about swimming near a jetty? Often, permanent rip currents form next to jetties due to the constant undulations of the ocean floor and can sweep swimmers out to sea or into sharp rocks.

Stay safe, swim near a lifeguard, and stay away from jetties ☀️

🚨 Fernandina Beach Ocean Rescue is here to celebrate 🏖️ National Beach Safety Week from May 18th to 25th.

Our first safety tip for National Beach Safety Week is 🛟 swim near a lifeguard 🛟.

🌊 Our lifeguards are not only trained to respond to rescues and medical emergencies but also work tirelessly to prevent them long before they happen. This means warning visitors about potential hazards like rip currents and high surf.

🚨Remember, we are here for YOU! Your safety is our top priority. So the next time you visit the beach stay safe and swim near a lifeguard. 🏖️

As the season starts to ramp up, so will our beach staffing. 🏖️ On weekends, beginning April 4th, our lifeguards will be at Main Beach, Seaside Park, and Peters’ Point from 10:30am to 5:00pm. These guards are well-equipped to perform water rescues, first aid, and educate the public on beach safety. 🌊 Don’t hesitate to stop by any of our staffed towers or emergency vehicles if you have any questions.
