Water

Coastal bathing water

Location

Eastbourne, East Sussex, Eastbourne District

Season

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

Water Quality

Good (2025). Assessed under rBWD

Risks

There is a surface water outfall on the beach about 200 metres southwest of the bathing water sampling point. Reduced water quality may persist in the area adjacent to the outfall for some time after rainfall has occurred. The Granville Road storm overflow also discharges out of this surface water outfall. Discharges occur when heavy rainfall overwhelms the sewerage system. However, the storm overflows are designed not to affect bathing water compliance.
