Lifeguard Coverage
Stamford Recreation provides lifeguards throughout the summer months at several City of Stamford beaches. All Lifeguard hours of duty and permitted swim area sizes are subject to change based on Lifeguard availability.
Residents are reminded to purchase a beach parking permit through the Cashiering and Permitting Division at Government Center for use between May 1 and September 30. For more information about parking permits visit the City of Stamford website:

.
Please note: The city Heath Department tests the water near swimming areas daily to ensure water is safe to swim. At times, particularly after a rainstorm, bacteria levels will be elevated, usually where the water is shallow (near a beach). This is a normal part of the ocean ecosystem and usually clears up within a day. Advisories will be posted at the beach, but to check before you arrive please call the Health Department hotline: (203) 977-5889.
