Beach Scanning

 

In the warmer months, thousands of people flock to our beaches. Below is a list of frequencies being used by Surf Life Saving Volunteers and the paid council lifeguards.

Mid-week, our beaches are patrolled by Council Beach Inspectors. Volunteers from Surf Lifesaving Clubs patrol the beaches on weekends and holidays.
