Water Quality at Local Beaches


The quality of sea water at our beaches is measured between May and September by the Environment Agency.

Water quality results are compared with standards laid down by the European Union (EU).

Where water quality consistently fails to meet EU standards there may be an increased risk of contracting a minor infection.
