DEM’s lifeguard corps is minimally staffed and chair reductions and reduced swimming areas should be expected at Scarborough North and South, Roger Wheeler, East Matunuck, Charlestown Breachway and Misquamicut state beaches this weekend. There will be no guards
on duty at East Beach. For non-surf beaches, guards will be in place at Lincoln Woods State Park, Pulaski State Park and Goddard State Park throughout the holiday weekend. There will be no lifeguards this weekend at Fort Adams State Park and the Burlingame
State Park Picnic Area.<br>

When lifeguards are not on duty, swimmers are responsible for their own safety. DEM highly recommends that people of all ages learn to swim, respect the water, and know their swimming limitations. Parental or adult supervision is critical. Learn more beach
