Feedback is welcome, but because public participation is equally encouraged, appropriate language and decorum is mandatory.

Lifeguards on Perdido Key at County's Beach Access #2 Starting Today!

The new County lifeguard tower has been installed at Perdido Key  Beach Access #2 


Escambia County's Lifeguards Begin Service at Perdido Key Today!

Lifeguards will be stationed at Perdido Key Public Access #2 from May 23 to Aug. 11, 2024, from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Throughout the day, a lifeguard will travel to Public Access #1, #3, and #4 to monitor the water and make contact with beach patrons.

Perdido Key patrons are encouraged to stay near the lifeguards while on the beach, especially in the most populated areas. Residents and visitors are urged to exercise caution when visiting the beach and swimming in the Gulf, especially when lifeguards are not present.

Commissioner Bergosh, I just want to say Thank You for following thru with your promise to establish Lifeguard protection on the key. This is truly an historical event. I pray that they are never needed, but glad they are there in case. A first in my lifetime of 69 years. Wow, people reclaiming their rights to public access after being hidden from them, and now public safety on those same beaches. Thank you sir!
