Be BeachWise all year round!

A day at the beach is usually remembered for years to come. Whether it was playing footie on the sand, surfing on the waves, or when a seagull went and stole someone’s pasty.

Thankfully, a day at the beach in the South West is rarely disappointing. However, we’ve got a handy online tool you can use to make sure your day remains safe and enjoyable (although we have no control over the seagulls…).

Check out our 20 Top Tips.

 About BeachWise

Back in 2016, we joined forces with Cornwall Council, the Environment Agency, Keep Britain Tidy, Marine Conservation Society, RNLI, South West Coast Path Association, Surf Life Saving, Great Britain and Visit Cornwall to launch BeachWise.

Working together, we produced an online tool that gives you 20 Top Tips for a safe day at the beach.

Since then, we’ve held BeachWise Forums which are an opportunity for us and our partners to discuss rising issues that may impact the quality of our beaches. Over the years, there have been presentations on agricultural impacts on coastal waters, shellfish water improvement and bathing water compliance.

Discussions held at the forums have gone on to inform our plans and investments in the future.
