The Beach Warning Flags are back on Bolivar Peninsula. Discontinued after Hurricane Ike, the Chamber of Commerce has been working with the county and local businesses for about a year to bring back the flags. The beach flags provide general warnings about overall surf conditions using a system of five different colored flags. Signs explaining each of the flag colors are posted on Crystal Beach Road and in the Big Store. The Chamber is also printing information cards that will be available in all local businesses.
Currently, there will be four places you will see the Beach Warning Flags: Swede’s Real Estate, The Big Store, ReMax Real Estate, and Kites Unlimited. These businesses will display the flag that is posted each day on the Galveston Island Beach Patrol website.
The Chamber of Commerce is also looking for beachfront homeowners that are interested in participating in the program by displaying the daily beach flag. For more information, please call the Chamber office at 409-684-5940.
