Location

Season

Designated bathing water since 2024. Official monitoring season runs from May to September.

Water Quality

Poor (2025). Assessed under rBWD

Risks

There are a number of permitted storm overflows that discharge into the River Dart and Estuary. In the 1km section of the designated bathing water, Stoke Gabriel pump station has a permitted storm & emergency overflow that discharges into the bathing water. There is also a Combined sewer overflow (Scout Hut) that discharges into mill pool.
When these outfalls are operating, they discharge diluted effluent into the river which may result in reduced bathing water quality.
