Red Flag Warnings: 65+ Rescues At Area Beaches
April 26, 2011
Headed to the beach for Spring Break? Officials are reminding everyone to pay attention to red and yellow flag warnings.
There were more than 65 rescues by lifeguards from Pensacola Beach to Navarre Beach during last weekend. There were no drownings, but several people were transported to area hospitals for treatment.
Dangerous surf conditions and rip currents are expected to persist this week. For the latest surf advisory for Pensacola Beach and Gulf Islands National Seashore, call (850) 932-SURF.

Does anybody know if they give out tickets here like they do in Alabama?
Also, remember guys, if you get out there with yellow or red flag, you are not only endangering yourselves, but also putting the lifeguard’s life in jeopardy! Yes, they are there to help, but the flags are warnings to protect you and your family.
Have a great spring break, and safe swimming!
