Bathing waters in England have not been classified in 2020. This is due to the severe impacts on bathing water monitoring and analysis caused by the Coronavirus pandemic and the necessary adherence with government guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus.

\n\n

An official statistic has not been produced for 2020.

\n
\n\n

The Environment Agency closely monitors beaches and inland waters that are designated bathing waters to check that standards are being maintained.

\n\n

They must publish the official statistics and classifications awarded.

\n\n

Bathing waters can be classified as ‘excellent’, ‘good’, ‘sufficient’ or ‘poor’.
