There is a 30 minute break in between. If you pass in the allotted time and have proper requirements you will then be scheduled for an interview. Starting pay: $13.33/hr.

Welcome to The Pensacola Beach Lifeguards.  We service 8.3 miles of Gulf-side beach as well as Quiet Water Beach on the Santa Rosa Sound. 

We encourage everyone to heed the warnings of safety officials and signage.  Rip Currents are a very real, but avoidable threat.  Swimmers should stay on the sandbars and always swim near a lifeguard.

For emergencies call 911.
