Beaches - Consultancy Service

UK beaches are renowned for their dynamic and changing nature, often with hidden risks that can be potentially life threatening. Unpredictable weather conditions, tides or hidden currents can all be dangerous to beach users.

Under UK law, it is the responsibility of the land owner or Activity Leader to use foresight and implement reasonable controls and robust plans to manage any incidents, in order to protect visitors, customers and employees alike.
