Location

Worthing, West Sussex, Worthing District

Season

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

Water Quality

Good (2025). Assessed under rBWD

Risks

Within the vicinity of the beach there are 4 surface water outfalls namely Sea View Road, Heene Terrace West, Heene Terrace East and West Street. Reduced water quality may persist in the area adjacent to the outfalls for some time after rainfall has occurred. There are also 3 storm overflows over a km away to the west of the bathing water. Discharges occur when heavy rainfall overwhelms the sewerage system but are designed not to affect bathing water compliance. There are further surface water drains over a km away to the east and west.
