Location

Southend-on-Sea, Essex

Season

Designated bathing water since 2001. Official monitoring season runs from May to September.

Water Quality

Good (2025). Assessed under rBWD

Risks

This bathing water may be affected by discharges which can occur when heavy rainfall overwhelms the sewerage system and causes diluted sewage to overflow. Within the wider catchment of the bathing water there are several storm and emergency overflows, including a storm discharge directly onto the bathing water beach. Improvements by Anglian Water to the local sewerage network have reduced the likelihood of a storm discharge, however during and after periods of rainfall these discharges may have an adverse effect on bathing water quality.
