Notice

Lifesaving services at beaches in March 2025

The arrangements for lifesaving services at the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD)'s 39 gazetted beaches for the period from March 1, 2025 to March 31, 2025 are as follows:

Deep Water Bay Beach, Repulse Bay Beach, Stanley Main Beach, Big Wave Bay Beach, Clear Water Bay Second Beach, Silverstrand Beach, Silver Mine Bay Beach, Golden Beach, Lido Beach and Casam Beach

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lifesaving services provided from 8am to 5pm daily

Lifesaving services at the remaining 29 LCSD beaches will be suspended from March 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025. A detailed list can be found in the attachment.
 
The LCSD calls on members of the public to observe water safety while swimming. Swimmers should pay attention to safety when enjoying the fun of swimming, and should only go to beaches where lifesaving services are provided.
 
Members of the public should stay away from the shoreline during inclement weather, and should not conduct any water sports activities on beaches to avoid causing danger to themselves and rescue personnel. Any failure to comply with the temporary closure arrangement of beaches is an offence and the offender would be liable to prosecution.
