Beach lifeguards use flags to indicate the relative safety of the ocean, from green (least dangerous) to red (most dangerous), with blue or purple flags warning of potentially dangerous animals nearby. A single red flag usually indicates that the water is hazardous, and swimming is discouraged but still technically allowed. Unless you're a very strong swimmer, it's wise to stay out of the water when there's a red flag. Two red flags means no swimming is allowed, signifying the highest danger level.
