Environment Agency Wales Reports on Beach Bathing Water Quality

Details have been provided by Environment Agency Wales on how safe the water is to swim in at over 80 beaches around our coast. Downloadable pdf files are available for each beach; each has a bathing water profile which includes a description of the beach and the catchment area, rivers and streams feeding into the site, a pollution management plan and notes on the presence (or otherwise) of algae and seaweed.
