Our trees need more water during the hot weather.

If you have a tree near your home please help by watering it once or twice a week.

It’s best if you can water early in the morning or late evening and young trees need extra water.

Swim between the red and yellow flags and remember lifeguard patrols finish at 6pm – there is no on-beach cover after this time.

If there are no flags, there are no lifeguards.
