Bathing waters

This page shows the quality of the bathing water for the latest sample. We sample the water at all designated bathing sites approximately once a week during the bathing season (May to September). We compare water quality results against the standards in the European Bathing Water Directive. Click on 'View data' to see the weekly sample results during the bathing season.
  • Excellent means the bathing water meets the strict guideline standards.
  • Good means the bathing water meets the mandatory standards.
  • Poor means that the bathing water did not meet the required standards in the Directive.
  • Closed indicates that the bathing water was closed during the bathing season.
