Water

Coastal bathing water

Location

Wirral, Merseyside, Wirral 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 storm overflow located to the south west of the bathing water at Stanley Road in Hoylake. There are three surface water outfalls that discharge clean surface water to the beach. There is no impact on bathing water quality from these outfalls.
Under the programme of work for United Utilities (from 2015 to 2020) all storm overflows close to bathing waters have had equipment installed to monitor spills to the environment. This will help to identify where bathing water improvements may be needed in the future. 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.
