Life's a beach in Arun
For many of us at the first sign of the sun we head to the beach, and here in Arun we are lucky to have our Beach Patrol Officers working hard to keep our beaches safe and happy places to be.
At both Bognor Regis and Littlehampton beach you’ll find the Beach Patrol Officers patrolling on foot or in their 4x4 buggy. They start each day by raising the flags, but no two days are ever the same for them. Helping visitors with any questions they may have, first aid needs, finding lost children and ensuring safety regulations are followed are just some of the tasks they undertake each day.
Recently the Beach Officers had busy days at Bognor Regis Armed Forces Day on Saturday 18 June and Littlehampton Armed Forces Day on Saturday 25 June. With hundreds of visitors flocking to the beach for the events the team were on hand to help make sure everyone stayed safe and had fun. Speaking about the days Beach Patrol Officer Jenny said:
“It was a pleasure to be a part of the Armed Forces Days across the district and to help with making them fantastic events. We are passionate about our work and love to ensures visitors trips to the beach are memorable for all the right reasons. It made our day to be thanked by so many people for our hard work and contribution to these brilliant events.”
You will find the Beach Patrol Officers at the beach between 10am – 6pm every day, please say hi if you see them patrolling or stop by their office if you need any help.
