Cliff falls and Easterly conditions!

Yesterday saw multiple cliff falls on east beach at Sidmouth. This is a natural phenomenon with no pattern or warning.
Signage is there for a reason!
EDDC has very obvious signage in place near the access point to East Beach and those walking to Sidmouth from Salcombe mouth beach there is a sign there warning you of the dangers of walking along that beach and its states “No Access” to Sidmouth.
Sidmouth lifeguards work tirelessly to educate and prevent people walking that way and highlight the dangers with extra signage and now have an outpost of lifeguards based at the eastern end of the esplanade to make sure there reach is greater. Yesterday saw lots of very near misses with people walking under cliffs as they crumbled.
Waking along that beach is dangerous and you are taking a huge risk and one that you are not bigger than.
Please read the signs and respect the message they give you along with the lifeguards advice.
The lifeguards are just doing their job and are not telling you off but actually caring about the safety of the public.

Also today we have hot weather and easterly winds so please again follow their advice and take note of the warnings.
Avoid swimming near, around or between the rock islands and rock groynes.

Enjoy the beach - it’s the best play ground.

Thank you - in support of lifeguards around our coastline who do an amazing job.

🛟 International Lifeguard Appreciation Day 🛟
Tomorrow - Friday 31st July!

To recognise the amazing work that lifeguards do 👊
Yes they are tanned, yes they sometimes have a surf and yes some may think that their job is easy and they live the dream but the well trained passionate individuals that we see on our beaches day in day out during the summer season make it look easy because they are so awesome at their job.

They are on the front line and in most cases the first to respond to medical incidents, water rescues, constant interventions and so much prevention!

Often their work goes unnoticed because they are humble and professional but not all their incidents are easy and may sometimes stay with them and demanding them to go above and beyond the call of duty so let’s please give them a shout out.
If you are on a beach tomorrow and there is a lifeguard go say Hi 👋 and thank you and give them some love.

It’s the best job in the world but always nice to feel appreciated.

Thank you to our amazing team of lifeguards at Sidmouth an independent lifeguard service run by Sidmouth independent lifeboat and also equally as importantly to the RNLI and all the incredible work they do ❤️
