RNLI lifeguards have returned to North Norfolk beaches for the summer season this weekend. The beach at Wells along with Sheringham East, West Runton, East Runton and Cromer West will be patrolled from 10am to 6pm daily until Sunday 8 September. Lifeguards have already been patrolling at Sheringham West, Cromer East, Mundesley and Sea Palling since late May.
Run by arrangement with the local council, the lifeguard service provides everything from safety advice and tide times to helping locate missing children and dealing with emergencies. Beachgoers are encouraged to heed their advice and to swim only between the red and yellow flags.
