Watch on the beach

Keep an eye on those with you, especially children, so you can alert someone immediately in case of difficulty.

Life guards are generally on duty from June to September. It is forbidden to get into the water outside the supervised areas, defined by blue pennants. The Life Guards (Les Maîtres Nageurs Sauveteurs, MNS) post where the swimming areas are, and information about the rollers ("baïnes").

The "baïne" is a hole created by the swell, invisible at high tide and causes extremely strong currents.

For their safety, the swimmers are invited to respect the rules given by the flag hoisted on the signaling mast on the beach and to take account the following :

• Red flag : Swimming completely forbidden
• Orange flag : Swimming dangerous but supervised in limited areas
• Green flag : Swimming allowed in all areas
• No flag : Areas not supervised - Swimming is at your own risk
