Surfers Against Sewage, one of country’s leading marine conservations regularly warns people of sewage discharges at popular spots.

Its Safer Seas & Rivers Service monitors the water quality at 600 ‘surf and swim spots’ across the UK, and has listed nine locations in Wales that have had sewage discharged in the last 48 hours.

The beaches included in the warning are:

Swansea Bay

The charity stated: “Storm sewage has been discharged from a sewer overflow in this location within the past 48 hours.

“Swansea Bay is a 9km stretch of sand, pebble and mud flats that stretches from Mumbles Head to the River Tawe.

“It slopes gently and at low tide the waters edge is along way from the beach front.

“Numerous sewer overflows discharge into the sea and waterways here including several that discharge into the River Tawe.”
