The City has taken a decision to open some beaches following an improvement in water quality. 

 

A team of experts recently tested water from the beaches and results confirmed that water is now at an acceptable standard.

 

Beaches that are now open for swimming are Bay of Plenty Beach, North Beach, Wedge Beach and Ushaka Beach. 

 

In the south, Umgababa, Umkomaas, Brighton, and Treasure beaches remain open.

 

However, other beaches remain closed until further notice. 

 

The Municipality is constantly monitoring the water quality to all beaches to ensure the safety of residents and tourists. 

 

The City apologises for any inconvenience caused and appeals to the public to bear with it, as it is doing everything in its power to have all beaches ultimately open.
