Water

Coastal bathing water

Location

Isle of Wight

Season

Designated bathing water since 1988. Official monitoring season runs from May to September.

Water Quality

Excellent (2025). Assessed under rBWD

Risks

This bathing water is affected by the Colwell Chine storm overflow and Monks Lane storm overflow, at the north end of the bay. The overflows can discharge when heavy rainfall overwhelms the sewerage system but they are designed not to affect bathing water compliance.
