Hendaye: free identification bracelets so you never lose your children at the beach again

This Friday, July 4, the mayor of Hendaye, Kotte Ecenarro, representatives of Groupama, partners in the operation, as well as CRS lifeguards, gathered in front of the lifeguard station at Hendaye's Grande Plage to launch this new edition. "This is a beach that guarantees safety, which we are offering thanks to this system," declared the mayor.

Since 2023, these wristbands have been made from Tyvek, a virtually tear-proof, waterproof, and recyclable material. This is both an ecological and practical advancement that helps preserve beaches and oceans.

Each bracelet also features a QR code. By scanning it, parents can access prevention advice on coastal risks: rip currents, sun exposure, etc. A useful addition for a worry-free day at the beach.
