Although the season has finished in Exmouth many other beaches patrol right until the end of September.
I have been lucky enough to work a few days up in Poole Bay and few days down in Carrick area at Perranporth.
Check out a few nice pictures of Perran at www.coastalbritain.com
For the four beaches in East Devon yesterday was the last day we patrol this year.
It was an amazing season and everyone is looking forward to next year.
Even on our last day we did one rescue returning a kite surfer back to the beach using our RWC after they could not relaunch their kite from the water.
There are still many beaches that have Lifeguards on them through september and some of the more popular beaches stay lifeguarded at weekends in to october.
If your not at a Lifeguarded beach over the winter and you do see someone in difficulty make sure you dial 999 ans ask for the coastguard. Try to remember the 3 p words when calling. People, position and problem. People- who is in trouble male, female, age swimmer not swimmer. Position- give the best description of the location you can. Problem- what is the problem an inflatable drifting out or a swimmer in difficulty.
Have a good winter!
