Lifeguarded Beaches in Helston
3 lifeguarded beaches in Helston with RNLI patrols during the summer season, so you can swim with confidence.
RNLI lifeguards patrol these beaches during the summer season, typically from late May through September. They set up red and yellow flags to mark the safest swimming zone, and black and white flags for board sports. Always swim between the flags and follow lifeguard advice - conditions can change quickly on Cornwall's Atlantic-facing coastline. Outside of lifeguarded hours, take extra care and never swim alone.
