As the holiday season is amongst us, here's a couple of great websites worthy of spending some time exploring with your kids, to help everyone practice beach safety.

Welcome to Surf Safety

We all love a day at the beach. However, the beach can be unpredictable. That's why lifeguards put up the red and yellow flags to show you the supervised area. Staying safe and making the most of the coast requires knowledge and skills. This website is designed to help you learn about the beach, the science of the surf and the creatures in our oceans as well as surf skills and first aid. Just choose a topic. It's all about helping you to enjoy our beautiful coast.

Welcome to Beachsafe

Brought to you by Surf Life Saving Australia, this site includes the location, facilities, weather, conditions and lifesaving services for all Australian beaches to help you find the right beach.
