7th April 2023 Here at the National Coastwatch Institution we’re ready for a Happy Easter and so are our wonderful volunteers, supporters, and the whole Search and rescue family. Are you?

If you’re at the coast this weekend, make yours a happy Easter too with these ‘Eggstra’ safety tips and be Coast Clever:

1. Check weather and tide times so you don’t get caught out

2. Stay well back from cliffs and cliff edges – they’re unstable after last month’s rain & can tumble without warning

3. Keep dogs on a lead

4. If you accidentally end up in the water, try and fight the instinct to panic and don’t try to swim against the tide. Shout for help and #FloatToLive

5. Take a fully charged mobile phone & call 999 for the Coastguard if you see anyone is in difficulties

We’ll be looking out for your safety over the Easter weekend (as we do every day).
