Sea Water at Saltdean Beach

The Environment Agency (EA) classifies Saltdean Beach as having an "Excellent" water quality rating, based on routine weekly monitoring conducted during the official bathing season from May to September. The water was tested 10 times May 15 - Sep 30 2026. You can view the results on the EA’s website here.

In addition to the EA’s testing, local volunteers conduct regular seawater testing for E.coli results all year round with Brighton & Hove SeaCheck, a citizen science project.
