Music is being used to help save lives on the Coffs Coast with an innovative jingle penned by acclaimed musician Ben Lee.

The catchy Sun Sound is being trialled at Park Beach in the hope that it will help combat the 250 people diagnosed with melanoma on the Mid North Coast every year.

It is an initiative of the Cancer Council NSW.

Sun Sound will be played on loud-speakers every two hours reminding people to protect their skin with hats, sunscreen, sunglasses, clothing and shade.
