Things to know about being prepared for a hurricane

Beach Safety

Even hurricanes and other storms that remain well off our coast can produce dangerous swells and life threatening rip currents along our beach.

Know before you go:

Check beach advisories before going in the ocean
Learn how to spot, avoid, and survive a rip current
Never swim alone, swim by a lifeguard and/or have water watchers present. We no longer have a full staff of lifeguards in KDH. View a list of beach accesses in KDH with lifeguard stands.

If you have an emergency dial 911.
