The bathing water is situated on the south coast in West Sussex, backed by an urban area. The bathing water is primarily a shingle beach but with gently shelving sand exposed at low water. Wooden groynes and boulder breakwaters protect the beach. Above the bathing water is a line of beach huts with a large grassed area behind.

Water

Coastal bathing water

Location

Adur, West Sussex, Adur 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 below the high tide line 200m east of the sampling point. This is believed to just drain the immediate surrounding area. There are several storm overflows that discharge into the Teville Stream and the former East Worthing sewage treatment works sea outfall (2km offshore) is now retained as a storm overflow. Discharges occur when heavy rainfall overwhelms the sewerage system but are designed not to affect bathing water compliance.
