Spotted at Tynemouth, County Tyne and Wear, were specific signal flags at the beach. The one flying was red over yellow. On a signpost there was an explanation of different signal flags. The red over yellow flags indicates the bathing area. The surfing flag is checkered black and white, indicating the area for surfers. The danger flag is plain red and indicates that you should not enter the water, there.
