RNLI issue cliff jumping warning

Friday, 10 July 2026 12:50

Peel's RNLI crew is asking you to take extra care if you're planning on enjoying the sea this weekend.

On Facebook, the lifeboat station on Peel Breakwater says with temperatures soaring, many will be headed to beaches around the Island.

But it says there are precautions you should take to stay safe: including not heading out on your own and making sure you can call for help if you get into difficulties.

And if you're planning on tombstoning or jumping from cliffs, you should check for hazards before leaping in.
