Where is beach lifeguarding on Texel?

The beaches at posts 9, 12, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21, and 28 will be guarded by the Texel Lifeguard Brigade during the summer holidays. The lifeguards will be present when the red-yellow flag is hoisted. This is between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Lifeguarding runs until August 28.

What can you contact the lifeguards for?

You can contact the lifeguards with questions about safe swimming, jellyfish, rip currents, and other situations on the beach. They also hand out wristbands for children. Put your phone number on them so that you can be reached more quickly if your child gets lost for a moment.

Swim safely in the sea

The sea remains unpredictable, even if you are a good swimmer. Pay attention to the flags, follow the lifeguards' instructions, and do not go further into the sea than is safe.
