George Municipality has a NO ALCOHOL policy applicable to Beaches and other public areas, which will be strictly enforced, especially during the Festive period. The George law enforcement officers will be assisted by beach monitors during the Festive season to assist with beach patrols, and the enforcement of Municipal bylaws to ensure safe beaches for everyone.

The control, searching of vehicles, and bag access at municipal beaches is implemented under “The Access to Public Premises and Access of Vehicles Act (53 1985)”. Members of the Public are warned that prohibited substances, weapons, alcohol, fireworks etc., will be confiscated and that fines can be issued. All confiscated items or goods will be handed over to the South African Police Service (SAPS) for disposal.

No dogs or other animals are allowed on the beach unless there are signs that identify any allowed times and areas.

George Municipality encourages all beachgoers to cooperate with our officials to ensure their visit to the beach is a safe and enjoyable experience. Neighbourhood Watch, Community Police Forums, George and Provincial Traffic Services, SANPARKS, National Sea Rescue Institute, Private Security Companies, the South African Police Service (SAPD), including Business Owners, also assist the Municipality in ensuring a safe festival season. Previous festive seasons have been very successful due to the excellent cooperation between all role players and members of the public.

The beach areas under the control of the George Municipality include Wilderness Main Beach, Wilderness Lagoon, Wilderness Steps, Wilderness Lientjiesklip, Victoria Bay Beach, Gwaing River Mouth Beach and Day Camp and Herold’s Bay Beach, and Tidal Pool.
