Water

Coastal bathing water

Location

Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, Great Yarmouth District

Season

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

Water Quality

Excellent (2025). Assessed under rBWD

Risks

There are numerous storm and emergency outfalls that discharge to the River Yare. Prior to the 2007 improvements, which included significant additional storage, these outfalls were known to affect bathing water quality. Water quality in subsequent years has benefited from this investment. This bathing water is included in the Surfers Against Sewage “Safer Seas Service”. This service can alert you to Combined Storm Sewer Overflow discharges via a phone App and in addition, it includes the Environment Agency Pollution Risk Forecast warnings where they are available.
