New Lifeguard Towers Added to Cortez Beach to Enhance Safety Ahead of 2025 Season
Manatee County is proactively enhancing beach safety by adding two temporary lifeguard towers at Cortez Beach. These towers will serve as critical stations for the Manatee County Beach Patrol, ensuring lifeguards can provide safety oversight, medical assistance, and support to beachgoers as the county prepares for the 2025 beach season.
Once parking improvements at Cortez Beach are completed in the coming weeks, lifeguards will officially begin their watch, reinforcing the county’s ongoing commitment to public safety. This initiative prioritizes beachgoer safety and marks a significant step in Manatee County’s recovery efforts following the challenges of the 2024 hurricane season.
As residents and visitors prepare to enjoy the coastline, these measures reflect the county’s dedication to maintaining a safe and welcoming beach environment. With improved facilities and trained professionals on duty, Cortez Beach remains a top destination for relaxation and recreation.
