Barry Dock RNLI has issued the advice for those planning trips to Whitmore Bay, where high tides reaching around 11.5 metres are expected this week.
Members of the public are being urged to check the tides before they head out.
A spokesperson for Barry Dock RNLI said: “Planning a trip to Whitmore Bay this week?
“Make sure you check the tides first because we’ve got some high tides going on this week, reaching around 11.5 metres – which means the water will be coming right up and if it’s windy, right over the sea wall.
“And that means no beach at Whitmore Bay for at least two hours after high tide!
“So, before you grab the lead and head out, check the tide times.
“Nobody wants to disappoint their fur babies by turning up to find there’s no beach to run around on!
“And, more importantly, please stay safe, keep an eye on the incoming tide and don’t risk getting cut off”.
