However, not all beaches in Somerset are safe for swimming, with official advisories cautioning against entering the water at certain locations. The Environment Agency’s Swimfo website offers an up-to-date resource where beachgoers can check the water quality status of designated bathing sites. This tool evaluates multiple locations, highlighting any that have been rated as ‘poor’ for water quality—the lowest classification assigned by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
