Only a few days left with lifeguards on the Ocean City beach.
After several days of limited access and safety concerns, Ocean City officials say beach activities are returning to normal, with a few precautions still in place.
Three young swimmers were rescued from a rip current off Ocean City, saved by the prompt action of lifeguards. Despite warnings against water entry, the girls were rescued successfully.
Swimming is currently not allowed at several beaches across Delmarva, including Dewey Beach, Rehoboth Beach, Fenwick Island, Assateague State Park and more, after red flag warnings were issued Monday due to dangerous surf and rip currents.
Michael Zeik says he was vacationing when he decided to take a swim on a day when the surf was rough. He added that people should not take lifeguards for granted.
A pleasant stretch of late-summer weather continues today, but beachgoers are being warned of dangerous conditions in the surf with a high risk of rip currents.
In a tragic incident at Assateague Island National Seashore, an 18-year-old swimmer lost his life after being rescued unresponsive from the water despite lifeguards' immediate response efforts and CPR attempts on the beach.
The Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship will include both surf and sand events. These include the 400-meter surf swim, 2K beach run, and 90-meter spring, to name a few.
After over a year of planning and construction, Rehoboth Beach has officially opened its new beach patrol station. The long-awaited project that includes enhanced facilities for lifeguards and bathrooms, comes just in time for the summer season.
