A recent report by Holiday Park Guru utilized Environment Agency data to assign 'Brown Flag Awards' to 19 beaches in England noted for their poor water quality. This analysis highlighted significant contamination, particularly with faecal matter, affecting swimming safety. Six of these contaminated beaches were located near London, including Deal Castle and Dymchurch in Kent. Itâs important to recognize that a 'Brown Flag' designation might apply to only sections of a beach, not the whole area. Conversely, some nearby regions received recognition for their clean beaches, showcasing a mixed report on swimming conditions.

While some beaches near London received 'Brown Flag' designations, others were praised for their cleanliness, including Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
