REMINDER
Our Amazing Coastal Waters - Use caution when there are high winds and surf.
Our Coastal Waters are enticing, beautiful, entertaining, rejuvenating and full of great wildlife. Sadly, as has been covered in the news in recent times there have been people lost at Sea from our local beaches - within a very few miles of our Village. Please follow these recommendations as you enjoy these waters.
