Introduction of "No Smoking" at the beach
Smoking is banned between the red and yellow flags and within a 50-metre radius of the flags. The 50-metre radius ban will not apply beyond the landward edge of the sand but will include the areas covered by sand and water. The ban will only apply during the busy summer season when the lifesaving flags and patrols are in place.
