An important service of the Atlantic Beach Fire Department is our seasonal lifeguard program. During our peak summer season from Memorial Day until Labor Day, our lifeguards provide protection from our strong currents and surf conditions from 9:00 am until 6:00pm. Our lifeguards are specially trained in Ocean/Surf Rescue, basic CPR and First Aid and work jointly with our Fire Department personnel to keep our waters and beaches safe.

Lifeguard stands are located on the main beach access area in front of Atlantic Blvd. between Raleigh Ave. and Beaufort Ave. and a roaming ATV lifeguard patrols adjacent beach areas. Visitors should watch the lifeguard stands for flags indicating current surf conditions.

Please remember the ocean is a changing environment that can pose a danger to you and your family. Please be aware of hazards, follow the lifeguards recommendations, and use good judgment when enjoying our finest natural resource.
