Lifeguard service in action over the weekend - 27th Jul 2015
Nerja's lifeguard service was called into action last weekend with two separate individuals injuring themselves due to falls on the beach. The first was a man of between 35 and 40 years who suffered injuries in both legs and an arm whilst falling from a rock that he was climbing on Playa Calahonda. The beach, which is famous for its secluded coves, proved to be a difficult area to remove the injured man from, partially due to the injuries suffered, meaning the only safe option was to extract him by boat. The second incident occurred in similar circumstances on Burriana beach when a young man dislocated his shoulder requiring the assistance of the lifeguards deployed. The town council would like to remind people of the dangers of climbing rocks on the beaches of the municipality and urge visitors and locals to take care when doing so.
