Check below the Town statement about the official end of bathing season in Moraig Beach:

High amount of beach goers during the official bathing season in Benitachell is the direct response of the superb conditions of local seaside spots and the environmental awards (Blue Flag and rescue special badge) received this year.

The Department of Health of the City of Benitachell stated that this year’s security, rescue services and facilities availability in Moraig Cove showed an improvement in relation to previous years.

According to municipal data, SVS Beach Rescue Company conducted 753 service interventions between 15 June and 15 September, without having to regret any major incident. This number means 179 less interventions than the summer of 2013.

Major interventions took place in cases of superficial wounds, bruises and warnings for non-compliance of the bathing area. As for notable incidents, there have been four near-drowning rescues, and eight transfer to the hospital. Jellyfish stungs dropped from last year to 255.

This year, beach lifeguard service incorporated an automated external defibrillator (AED). This tool can be instrumental in saving lives during a cardiac arrest or ventricular tachycardia.
