Location

Havant, Hampshire, Havant District

Season

Water Quality

Excellent (2025). Assessed under rBWD

Risks

There is a storm overflow (Green lane storm overflow) less than a km to the east of the bathing water and another storm overflow (Fort Cumberland storm overflow) in the mouth of Langstone Harbour 3 km to the west. Discharges occur when heavy rainfall overwhelms the sewerage system but are designed not to affect bathing water compliance.
