Overview
- Two men, aged 71 and 82, died recently while bathing on Fenals beach in Lloret de Mar and Ponent beach in Cunit, respectively, according to Protecció Civil.
- At Fenals emergency services received a witness report that the 71-year-old had swallowed water and the beach displayed a green flag with lifeguard surveillance active when crews responded.
- In Cunit several bathers pulled an 82-year-old from the sea unconscious before the lifeguard service had started for the day and ambulances and SEM teams attempted resuscitation without success.
- The two confirmed deaths raise the total number of bathing fatalities on Catalan beaches since the start of the campaign to fifteen, as reported by national and regional outlets.
- Authorities and emergency teams continue to monitor beach safety; the cases underline how lifeguard schedules and rapid bystander action shape survival chances and may prompt closer review of coverage hours and public warnings.
