The beach surveillance posts of the Plan Copla opened this Monday, 17 July, with one red flag and 23 yellow flags in Águilas, Cartagena, San Javier and San Pedro del Pinatar.
Specifically, in Águilas the red flag prohibiting bathing is flying on the beach of Matalentisco, while the yellow flag calling for caution has been raised on the beaches of Poniente II, Calarreona, La Higuerica, La Carolina and El Hornillo.
In Cartagena, there is a yellow flag on the beaches of Monteblanco, Galúa, Las Sirenas, Entremares, Levante beach in Cabo de Palos and Calblanque; while in San Javier there is a yellow flag on the beaches of Banco del Tabal, Pedrucho sur, Pedrucho centro and Pedrucho norte, Arenal Sur and Arenal norte.
In San Pedro del Pinatar, the yellow flag is flying at the beaches of Barraca Quemada, Las Salinas, El Mojón, Punta de Algas and Torre Derribada.
The rest have opened with a green flag, according to sources from the Emergency Coordination Centre consulted by Europa Press.
The ‘1-1-2’ recommends that you follow the instructions of the lifeguards at the lifeguard post at all times, and that you pay attention to the colour of the flag flying at the lifeguard post before entering the water.
As well as bathing in supervised areas, leave the water immediately if you feel dizzy, cramps or any other indisposition, sunbathe with precautions, use a suitable sunscreen and hydrate frequently, paying special attention to children and the elderly.
