RIP CURRENTS & BEACH SAFETY
Coastal Vacation Resorts, The Town of Oak Island, and Oak Island Water Rescue strongly encourages all visitors and residents to strictly adhere to the newly implemented BEACH WARNING FLAG SYSTEM. The ocean is a natural wonder, accidents can happen, and it can pose potential risks, so please consider these risks because Oak Island does not have active on duty lifeguards.
All 65 beach access locations on the island have been equipped with Water Safety Stations. You will see these two informational and useful components at each one.
- Beach Warning Flag & Instructional Sign
- Rescue Tube Personal Flotation Device
Visit the Town of Oak Island's Beach Warning Flag Status page for current condition and hazard information.
