Stay safe on the Manx coast during half-term

Fri, 23 Oct 2020


The RNLI is urging people on the Island to take extra care if they visit the coast during half-term – to keep everyone safe.

The lifesaving charity is calling for people to act responsibly at the coast to protect themselves, their loved ones and front line emergency services.

RNLI Water Safety Lead Chris Cousens said: ‘During the Pandemic, we expect that many more people than normal at this time of year will be staying local during the school holidays. And if you are at the coast please do all you can to stay safe – whether walking the dog along coastal paths, paddleboarding or swimming in the sea.

‘Whether you intend to be in the water or not, cold water shock is a very real threat, no matter how experienced you are. If you do need help or spot anyone else in danger please call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard.’
