The safety film resulted from an approach by Silverdale Parish Council to Lancaster City Council.
Last year alone, over 20 incidents occurred in the Silverdale area of Morecambe Bay with visitors stuck in quicksand or stranded by the tide on sandbanks.
Mike Fletcher, Chair of Silverdale Parish Council said: “The sands in Morecambe Bay can be inviting but the tide can race in and surround you in minutes. Always find out when the tide is due and judge timings from Heysham and Morecambe."
