Foreshore Services
Duties and responsibilities
One of the district's major natural assets is the 14½ miles of coastline stretching from Seasalter in the west to Reculver in the east. The coast is particularly popular with day visitors and water sports users.
The Foreshore Services team is directly responsible for water safety, education, the provision and updating of information signage and beach huts.
