Notice

Lifesaving services at beaches in March 2026

The arrangements for lifesaving services at the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD)'s 39 gazetted beaches during the period between March 1, 2026 and March 31, 2026 are as follows:

Deep Water Bay Beach, Repulse Bay Beach, Stanley Main Beach, Big Wave Bay Beach, Clear Water Bay Second Beach, Silverstrand Beach, Silver Mine Bay Beach, Golden Beach, Lido Beach and Casam Beach
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lifesaving services available from 8am to 5pm daily

Lifesaving services at the remaining LCSD beaches will be suspended from March 1, 2026, to March 31, 2026. A detailed list can be found in the attachment.

The LCSD calls on members of the public to observe water safety while swimming. People should swim at the beaches only when lifeguard services are available.

Members of the public should stay away from the shoreline during inclement weather, and should not conduct any water sports activities on beaches to avoid causing danger to themselves and rescue personnel. Any failure to comply with the temporary closure arrangement of beaches is an offence and the offender would be liable to prosecution.
