Beach Lifeguard


We employ Beach/Pool Lifeguards at 10 of the most popular outdoor locations for water-based activities in the county during the summer months.

Our beach lifeguards are on duty each day until September 1st at the following locations:

Carrowniskey, Carrowmore, Old Head, Bertra, Ross (Killala), Keem, Keel, Silver (Dugort), Mulranny - (12pm to 6.30pm at each beach location).

Our pool lifeguards are at Belmullet Tidal Pool each day from 12pm to 7pm.

Mayo County Council provides Ringbuoys at 547 locations in Co. Mayo and these are constantly inspected and monitored by Council staff in all Municipal Districts. The extreme weather conditions along the Atlantic coast occasionally results in coastal erosion and creates the necessity to replace ringbuoys and safety information signage when necessary at certain locations.  If there are any reports of missing or damaged ringbuoys, rope, attachments etc, please log this on www.watersafety.ie/ringbuoys
