Risks

There are no storm overflows close to Broadstairs Stone Bay bathing water. Further away, there are three storm overflows. Broadstairs North Foreland short sea storm overflow is 1.5 km to the northeast. Winterstoke storm overflow at Ramsgate is more than 3 km to the south. The Broadstairs North Foreland long sea storm overflow is offshore 4 km to the northeast. These outfalls are designed to protect bathing water compliance.

There is surface water outfall 700 m south of the bathing water. Reduced water quality may persist in the area adjacent to the outfall for some time after rainfall has occurred. It is unlikely to impact the bathing water.
