Beach Safety

Stay safe (and clean) on the beach - what those coloured flags mean.

The beaches have a system of coloured flags to let the public know swimming conditions. The code is this:


Safety in the Water
Green Bathing Supervision
Orange Swimming Dangerous but Under Supervision
Water Quality
Blue Good, Clean Water
Yellow Water Polluted


A tip: Jellyfish problem? Rinse the sting with sea water, not fresh water.

Mont Saint Michel Tides

The tidal waters of  Mont Saint Michel off the Manche coastline can be very dangerous with up to 15 metres of difference between high and low tides representing about 15 Km of difference between the high and low water mark.
