Lifeguard patrols finish on some Jersey beaches

The RNLI said its peak season patrols came to an end on Sunday

Lifeguard patrols at some of Jersey's beaches have now come to an end for the summer season.

The RNLI said Sunday marked the end of the lifeguard peak season with patrols finishing at Grève de Lecq and Plémont.

Lifeguards would continue their daily patrols from 10:00 and 18:00 BST at St Ouens and St Brelade's Bay until 28 September, the charity added.

The RNLI said the lifeguard patrols at Le Braye would also continue for the first three weekends of October.

Daily patrols will then continue from the October half term holiday, which starts on 25 October until Sunday 2 November, the RNLI added.

The charity said it worked in partnership with the Government of Jersey each year to set up and roll out a lifeguard service.

It said setting up a lifeguard service each season involved several different elements, including recruitment, training lifeguards, and organising the logistics of delivering equipment to beaches.

RNLI lead coastguard Jake Elms said the charity's teams "worked especially hard" throughout the busy August Bank Holiday and when there was a large swell from Storm Erin - which created dangerous sea conditions.

He said: "For Jersey's RNLI lifeguard teams, the summer is always anticipated to be very busy, and the 2025 peak season has been no exception.

"As we begin to see our beaches concluding patrols from this Sunday, I would like to thank our incredible life savers for the immense dedication and skill they have shown this year."
