Coastal bathing water

Location

Cornwall

Season

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

Water Quality

Risks

There is an emergency/storm overflow from the Queen Mary Gardens pumping station that discharges to the sea approximately 420m east of the bathing water. The operation of the overflow can lead to a temporary drop in the bathing water quality, although such events appear to be rare.
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.
