Magens Bay and Smith Bay Park are under Red Flag Status due to hazardous sea conditions, including strong currents and rough surf.
Vehicular access to Smith Bay Park is temporarily closed.
Swimming is strongly discouraged at both locations. Lifeguards are not on duty, and anyone entering the water does so at their own risk.
The Magens Bay Authority will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates as they improve.
