Flag System

The colored flags flying at Pensacola Beach are surf warning flags. Our flags are posted at the following locations: south of the Bob Sikes Toll Bridge, next to the Casino Beach Pavilion, on the Gulf Fishing Pier, one mile east of Portofino Island Resort, Park East, Park West, and at all lifeguard towers. The absence of surf warning flags does not assure water safety. Please always use your best judgment when determining whether you should swim. Only strong swimmers should enter the Gulf.
