Location

Hastings, East Sussex, Hastings District

Season

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

Water Quality

Good (2025). Assessed under rBWD

Risks

Alexandra Park Stream enters the sea via an outfall pipe across the beach 250 metres west of the bathing water sampling point. Discharges from a number of storm overflows (including St. Helen's Down and Pilot Fields) are connected to this pipe. During and after periods of heavy rainfall, contamination from storm discharges and urban runoff can have an adverse effect on bathing water quality.
