Lifeguards at Maracas beach and Tyrico Bay are currently in talks with the Ministry of Tourism about returning to normal working hours at those beaches. The ministry has procured and installed, through UDeCOTT, a 40-ft container to temporarily accommodate lifeguards at Maracas and Tyrico beaches, until works are complete.

The Ministry said: “The container, which was outfitted with office, washroom and storage facilities will house the lifeguards while remedial works are being undertaken to upgrade the main quarters at the Maracas Beach Facility.”

The ministry continues to urge beach-goers to exercise caution and heed all advisories to ensure safety remains a priority while at the beaches.
