Worcester County is sounding the alarm for holiday beachgoers heading to Assateague Island—no lifeguards are on duty, so swim only at patrolled beaches like Assateague State Park or Ocean City. Ocean swimming is inherently risky with unpredictable currents, waves, and hidden hazards. Know your limits, learn rip current safety (swim parallel to shore if caught), and never turn your back on the water. If you’re not a strong swimmer, skip the ocean entirely—your safety comes first.
