The Meaning of a Purple Flag at the Beach

Beach flags serve as an essential guide for ocean safety, each color conveying a specific message.

These flags help swimmers, surfers, and beachgoers make informed decisions about entering the water.

A green flag signifies safe and calm conditions, while a yellow flag warns of moderate

hazards such as rough waves or currents. The red flag, perhaps the most recognizable, signals dangerous conditions,

often advising against swimming due to strong currents or hazardous surf. However, not all flags indicate

water conditions alone—some provide warnings about marine life as well.
