The red flag flew on the beach to alert beachgoers to the hazardous rip currents. However, Jenkins said aside from the water rescues and typical calls associated with holiday weekends, such as parking, noise and alcohol, there were no other major accidents.
Volusia County Beach Safety officials said they encourage beachgoers on Labor Day to exercise caution with the rip current situation.
