This year all the Resort Beaches hold the Tidy Britain Group Seaside Award. Cleaning to a very high standard is carried out daily on these beaches and adjacent areas before 9am. A cleaner remains on each beach through to 4.30pm to keep it clean. At extra busy times a second cleaner is kept on. Some areas of Resort Beaches are declared as dog free.
Water quality is an important factor in well managed beaches and is regularly monitored.
The lifeguards are on duty daily, throughout the summer season, from 10am to 6pm. At Lowestoft there are two zoned areas which are supervised by the lifeguards, each being two hundred metres wide. At Southwold the Resort Beach is lifeguard supervised as a single zone. The role of the lifeguard is to advise on beach and water safety, carry out emergency rescues, offer first aid, assist the coastguard and emergency services and help make your visit safe and enjoyable. For the safety of beach users lifebelts, throw bags, emergency phones, information notices and flag systems are provided.
