Beach

Home " Beach

Enjoying the sea, sun and water? But do it safely!

To make your day at the beach as safe as possible, we have listed a few things for you. Please read the following information before enjoying the Noordwijk beach.

  • Only go swimming in places where it is permitted and supervised by the Lifeguard;
  • Always keep an eye on children, both in the water and on the beach;
  • Stay in the water at arm's length away from small children;
  • Can't swim? Then enter the water up to your knees;
  • Do not swim near marshes (= currents that pull towards the sea);
  • Alcohol and swimming do not go together. This is life-threatening!
  • Never swim alone! Even the best swimmer can get into trouble, for example, cramp
  • In easterly winds (= winds blowing towards the sea), do not use flotation devices (floating objects), you could potentially drift far into the sea;
  • Do not dig deep pits on the beach (due to collapse and suffocation hazards);
  • Adhere to designated zones for various water sports.
    Pay attention to warning flags
    • Yellow flag = dangerous water
    • Red flag = no swimming
    • Question mark flag = child found
    • Orange windsock = do not enter the water with flotation devices
  • Follow the directions of the Lifeguard at all times.

To reunite you as quickly as possible, you can get a free 06-wristband at our beach posts. Write on this...

Flags

The lifeguard service has several flags at its disposal. With these flags our lifeguards inform the beach visitors about the current situation and the dangers. The following flags are used on the Noordwijk beach: Lifeguard flag Lifeguards present This flag indicates that the lifeguard station is open and that the lifeguard area is supervised by qualified lifeguards...

Drowning

See a swimmer or bather in distress? Then always call 112! At the Rescue Squad, we use the following definition of drowning: Drowning is the experience of respiratory distress due to total or partial immersion in a liquid. This definition of drowning does not imply: that a drowning person dies that there is a need for medical treatment that...

Marine life

Jellyfish In the North Sea there are several species of jellyfish. These marine animals allow themselves to be carried away with the undertow. Therefore, the jellyfish are often seen with offshore wind, the undercurrent then goes towards the beach. The jellyfish that originate in the Netherlands are no danger to humans. The jellyfish have stinging cells that are poisoned with...
