Care should always be taken when swimming in the sea. It can be very deceptive.
Yellow telephones near estuaries, harbours and beaches are to be used in an EMERGENCY only.
Do NOT vandalise these telephones as lives depend on them!

Be responsible and take plastic bags with you. Llansteffan and Cefn Sidan beaches have byelaws banning dogs from 1st May to 30th September each year.
