Beach Safety Update

Stinger Season Has Begun

At Forrest Beach, our lifesavers have just netted a juvenile box jellyfish, and as a precaution, the beach is closed for swimming until further notice.

Please note that stinger season officially began yesterday, November 1, and the stinger net enclosure is scheduled to be reinstalled next week for the start of the stinger season.

For your safety, do not enter the water until lifesavers declare it safe. Please follow the directions of our lifesaving team.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping keep everyone safe this stinger season.
