Bigbury-on-Sea South

Status: No water quality alerts in place

At the mouth of the River Avon, Bigbury-on-sea South connects Burgh Island to the mainland at low tide. It is a sandy beach approximately 450m wide. A Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) serves the urban Bigbury-on-Sea immediately behind the beach but there are no outfalls leading onto the beach. Sewer overflow discharges and surface water draining into the River Avon may also affect water quality here.
