Isle of Wight

Season

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

Risks

This bathing water could be affected by discharges from the Avenue Slipway storm overflow or from Sandown sewage treatment works storm overflow (1.2km away, off Yaverland) that occur when heavy rainfall overwhelms the sewerage system, but these outfalls are designed to ensure that bathing water compliance is not affected.
