United Kingdom Coastal 1 - Excellent 11.6°C

Sheringham is a former fishing village, but is now a seaside town which still has fishing and crab boats plying trade from the shore. It has a stony beach, but at low tide an expanse of sand and rock pools is revealed. The beach is backed by a promenade and the town.

Water

Coastal bathing water

Location

North Norfolk, Norfolk, North Norfolk District

Season

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

Water Quality

Excellent (2025). Assessed under rBWD

Risks

Storm water arising in the town is contained within a large storage tank and pumped for treatment when capacity becomes available. In extreme storm conditions (approx once in five years) excess storm sewage may be released but is most unlikely to cause a decline in bathing water quality at this beach. 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.
