Copeland coast boasts safe, clean waters

Published: 26/11/2019

COPELAND’S four managed beaches have once again been recognised for their clean, safe swimming water.

In DEFRA's annual figures, Silecroft and St Bees were found to have 'excellent' water quality, Seascale has 'good' and Haverigg's is 'sufficient.'

The results mean locals and visitors to these picturesque areas can enjoy swimming and other activities in confidence.

The Environment Agency tests water at specific sites every week from May to September, to ensure the water is safe and clean for swimming and other activities.
