RNLI lifeguard patrols at El Tico, the Watersplash and St Brelade’s Bay will end this weekend until next summer.

The RNLI works in partnership with the States of Jersey each year to set up and roll out a lifeguard service.

And the charity is reminding Islanders who head to the beach to take extra care outside of peak season.

Patrols will still be in place over weekends at Le Braye and daily during the October half term.

Jake Elms, RNLI lead lifeguard supervisor for Jersey, said: “This season, we have seen our incredible lifeguard team in Jersey do a fantastic job at keeping beachgoers safe. As we see most of 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. 

“In addition, I’d like to thank the States of Jersey for their support which allows us to provide the service and help continue to keep people safe when they head to the coast. Thanks to their investment, people in Jersey will continue to have somewhere safe to enjoy the water as Le Braye at St Ouens will continue to be lifeguarded intermittently throughout the Autumn, until Sunday 2 November.”
