Three drowned in Lloret this week.

PHOTOS OF THE BEACH TODAY 

Today the sea in Lloret has claimed another life making that the third this week. The sea has been very rough for several days now and red flags have been flying warning people of the danger. Its not always possible for visitors to Lloret to realise just how dangerous the sea here can be, sometimes the red flags are up and it may look quite calm...but there maybe very strong undercurrents...flags are there for a reason! There are three flags and they are to be treated as traffic signals - green for go, yellow for caution and red is always STOP. Meaning that no one is allowed in the sea, the lifeguards do a fantastic job on Lloret beaches and what ever they say must go! Flags are always displayed on poles at the top of the beach but if you see red flags in the sand by the waters edge then on one is allowed beyond that point...see the photo below. Please have a great time and take care while on your holidays in Lloret...take notice of the flags and stay safe.

Out & about in Lloret today

 This morning the weather was very overcast and grey but we decided to take a trip up to the urbanisation of Roca Grossa from where there are very good views of all Lloret, Looking out to sea we could see a large yacht berthed in a small cove near Boadella, so we went to take a closer look! The name of the yacht is 'Beiss' I've looked online to try find who the owner is (as I usually do!) but this time I couldn't find any listing for it.
