History
226 samples since 23 January 2023, 18 of them with a ban or warning. The longest ban began on 13 October 2025. The zone was not cleared again until the sample of 27 January 2026, 106 days later. Within that period, 85 consecutive days passed without a single sample. The register records the most recent ban on 27 July 2026.
This page exists because a waste water outlet discharges into the sea 284 metres away and a bathing ban once stood here for months.
