Hi Karen,

There are 50 lifeguard towers/stands distributed along the Virginia Beach oceanfront that have been strategically placed for the best surveillance capability of the lifeguards.

The lifeguards patrol the beach from 1st Street through 89th Street between the months of mid-May through mid-September.  The lifeguards are on duty from 9:30am in the morning until 6:00pm in the evening..
