Lifeguards

For information on Lifeguards and Junior Lifeguard Programs go to www.cblifeguards.org

The Lifeguard season begins Memorial weekend and runs through Labor Day weekend.  The Town of Carolina Beach places 14 lifeguard stands covering approximately 2 miles of beach strand.  Each stand is clearly marked with the closest street locations to help identify where you are on the beach.  Lifeguards are on duty from 9:30 am to 4:45 pm seven days a week.  Our lifeguards continue to work towards USLA certification and practice daily for the safety of our citizens and visitors.

Beach rules prohibit alcohol and glass containers.  Animals are allowed on the beach from November 1st to February 28th as long as they are on a leash.  The sand dunes are protected under State and Federal statute.  We request that you respect this natural area.  Driving, overnight camping and open fires are prohibited along the beach strand within the corporate city limits.

Rip current signs (see sign here) have been placed at popular public beach accesses, on each lifeguard stand, and at the public bathrooms/showers.  Please make yourself and your families familiar with these signs.  They could save your life.
