This morning the Skerries Coast Guard team dropped in to the Community Beach Party, at the South Strand, Skerries. This excellent event was organised by the Skerries Community Association, in part to celebrate the return of the prestigious blue flag to the Skerries beach.

The sun beamed down on the large crowd as the impressive sandcastle competition got underway. The Skerries Coast Guard team handed out plenty of Coast Guard goodies and water safety books, which were very well received by the crowd.
