Galveston Island Beach Patrol Statement Regarding Tropical Storm Laura

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Galveston, Texas – The beaches will have very dangerous conditions for the next few days. Beach Parks will be closed starting 08-25-20 and we will be flying red flags for the next few days. Please stay far from piers and jetties. Good swimmers who are adults shouldn’t go above the waist and everyone else should stay out of the water until we get back to normal conditions.
Most importantly follow the advice of signs, flags, and your local, regional, and state officials.
We look forward to seeing you back on the beach after conditions return to normal.
-Chief Peter Davis
