Beach Warning Flag System

Please review and observe carefully the flag warning system when you, friends and family venture out for "that perfect sunny and beautiful day at the beach". Because the water may be shimmering and nice, it may NOT actually be safe. Please refer to a lifeguard or the near-by flag pole when you at the Beach. Observe the Beach Warning Flags System near you before entering the water. Below is the flag warning system:
