The surf lifesavers were in the process of setting up the flags at the beach.
Swimmers are encouraged to swim between the yellow and red flags and surfers are to surf outside the black and white flags.
There were a couple of surfers further down the beach but no swimmers at this stage.
It was early morning and although there is a blue sky it was rather chilly. You wouldn't get me in there at these temperatures. In fact you wouldn't get me in the water at this beach at all as there are dangerous rips and quite a few sharks around at the moment due to the mullet fish in the ocean.
Not for me either. When I go to swim, a.and i love swimming every day in Summer l want to have my mind at rest that it is safe, not from sharks because we have never seen any but from jellyfish which every now and then appear and you can't see while swimming. 9
@boxplayer@robz@kjarn@ankers70@pamalama@sangwann Too cold for me too and if there is a chance of a shark around I wouldn't go near. This beach is mainly used by dog walkers and surfers though so we don't get many swimmers.
@carole_sandford I hope the thought of Jaws doesn't give you nightmares.
@helenhall@helenhall It isn't really a swimmers beach so don't tend to see them here. It is mainly a surfers beach and a dog walking beach. The surf can get quite strong and there are rips along this stretch of the ocean too.
