Know Before You Go!
It’s Beach Safety Week! Our beach flag warning system keeps you informed about water conditions to help keep you safe. Make a habit of knowing the flag colors (and their meaning) before you hit the beaches!
red dangerous conditions - high surf
yellow - medium hazard - moderate surf
purple - stinging marine life
double red - water closed to the public
Fernandina Beach Ocean Rescue provides lifeguard services for Amelia Island beaches, including those in the County limits, through a mutual aid agreement. We appreciate all they do to keep residents and visitors safe.
