Jeddah Governorate Municipality in Saudi Arabia has raised the readiness of 12 beaches and marine sites to welcome visitors and holidaymakers during summer 2026, as part of an operational and supervisory plan stretching along the coast of the Makkah region from Rabigh governorate in the north to Al Qunfudhah governorate in the south.
The plan included equipping marine sites with rescue and field supervision teams comprising 66 male and female lifeguards, as well as 34 male and female supervisors to monitor field performance, strengthening safety levels and compliance with marine guidelines at designated swimming beaches, according to the Saudi Press Agency website.
The municipality stressed that daily supervisory monitoring of the beaches will continue, ensuring the readiness of sites and support services to provide a safe and well-prepared environment for visitors and families, as demand for waterfronts rises during the summer holiday and the post-Hajj season.
Jeddah Municipality urged beachgoers to follow marine safety guidelines, not to swim during bad weather, to stick to the permitted swimming hours from sunrise to sunset, to follow lifeguards' instructions and not to stray from designated swimming areas or leave children unattended.
The marine sites ready to receive visitors include Rabigh Beach, Al Lulu Beach, South Obhur Beach, Al Lith Beach and Al Qunfudhah Beach, as well as a number of beaches and sea pools within the municipality's jurisdiction, which are seeing growing demand from residents and visitors enjoying the marine atmosphere on the Red Sea coast.
These efforts are part of Jeddah Municipality's programs to improve quality of life, strengthen marine safety and develop coastal waterfronts, supporting the position of Jeddah and the western coastal governorates of the Makkah region as attractive marine destinations during the summer season.
