Guidance if you are visiting your local coastline this winter
When visiting your local coastline please take care and follow the rules and social distancing guidelines according to the guidance for your area.
National lockdown rules apply in England. Stay at home.
Please take care and follow the rules remembering that you must not leave, or be outside of your home except where necessary.
If you are exercising at the coast with your household (or support bubble) or one other person, it should be limited to once per day, and you should not travel outside your local area.
See specific guidance for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
We’re in difficult times, but if you’re in trouble at the coast, we’re always here for you. In an emergency at sea or at the coast dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
