Gold Coast beaches may be among the most beautiful in the world, but they are not without their dangers.
Visitors don’t always understand the risks associated with our waters or about important safety measures such as our red and yellow flags.
•	Never swim alone or surf at beaches not patrolled by lifeguards or lifesavers.
•	Never swim outside the red and yellow flags that mark safe swimming areas.
•	Never swim under the influence of alcohol.
