beach patrols
Coastal safety teams
Beach patrols are organized groups that monitor beaches for safety, emergencies, or security.
Lifeguard beach patrols watch for swimmers in distress and enforce water safety rules.
During wartime, beach patrols have guarded coastlines against enemy landings or saboteurs: Coast Guard beach patrols walked the shores nightly during World War II.
