Beach Warning Flags
Water conditions in the Gulf of Mexico can change rapidly, making it difficult even for experienced swimmers to return to shore. It’s crucial for beachgoers to pay attention to the flag colors and understand their meanings. Double red flags indicate that the water is closed to the public, and entering it could result in a fine of up to $500 or jail time. Stay alert, educate others, and enjoy the beach safely!

Rip Current Risks
When in Doubt, Don’t go out!
If caught in a rip current, do not panic!
To escape a rip current – swim parallel to the shore, do not try to swim against the current. If the current is too strong, let it carry you farther away from shore. It will eventually weaken. Then swim back to shore at an angle away from the current.
Remember, double red flags mean the water is CLOSED to the public!
If an emergency occurs, always call 911!
