"If you see someone in trouble you should always try calling 111 and ask for police to send the surf lifeguards.
"However, if you can't get reception there is an emergency phone in the Bethells carpark next to the public toilets that goes directly to Surf Life Saving Northern Region's rescue communications centre, SurfCom."
