With the summer holidays right around the corner and the recent heatwave, many people will be travelling to the East Yorkshire coast.

However there are many dangers to consider when visiting the beach, such as cold water shock, rip tides, and things hidden beneath the water.

In order to stay safe this summer visitors can visit a number of lifeguard protected beaches, which are annually run by the RNLI over summer.

Red and yellow flags will be positioned on the beach to show where the lifeguards will be situated.

Bridlington North beach will be protected by lifeguards and the nearby promenade is full of amusements and arcades.

Swimmers will be encouraged to stay between these flags for their own safety.

Starting July 1, lifeguards will be at selected beaches in order to keep visitors safe. This will be in place until September 3.
