If an accident occurs while they are on duty (flag flying over the first-aid post), alert them immediately. At other times, telephone the emergency services (sapeurs-pompiers) on 18 or 112. • Don’t rush into the sea, particularly after spending a long time in the sun. • Keep a close eye on your children while they are in or near the water and help them to remember your position on the beach by pointing out landmarks, such as the totem poles on Richelieu and Le Grau d’Agde beaches, put there for that purpose. • Access for people with reduced mobility is made easier with the wooden boards found at 7 of the beaches in the region from the beginning of June to 15 September. Also special wheelchairs adapted for bathing (“tiralo” type) are available at Le Grau d’Agde, Saint-Vincent, Richelieu West and East, La Roquille and the Port Nature naturist beach, during opening periods for life-guard stations. • Use the marked-out "beach access" paths and stay within the wooden fences, to protect the vegetation and avoid trampling on the dunes. • To preserve the quality and cleanliness of the coastline, a public order prohibits access to the beaches by dogs and horses between 1 May and 31 October, access by motor vehicles and the flying of kites from 9.30am to 7.30pm from 1 May to 31 October, and selling, camping or camp fires at any time.
