Breaking waves along the coast can be unpredictable and quickly drag you away.
Do not approach breaking waves. Stay Back, Stay High & Stay Dry!

Our mission is to deliver a world class search and rescue, maritime casualty and pollution response service.
- Two Missing Paddle Boarders located and being transferred to the care of the HSE, search is now standing down, thank you to everyone that assisted in this SAR operation.
- Never underestimate the power of the Sea, you can be swept off the shore in the blink of an eye and with potentially tragic consequences. Stay Back, Stay High and Stay Dry! If you see someone in difficulty in the sea or on the shore dial 999 or 112 and ask for the Coast Guard
