You can now swim at 14 Thanet beaches! The advisory against entering the sea, put in place due to a wastewater discharge, has been lifted as of Sunday, June 15, 2025.
Thanet Council has said all warning signs are being taken down from beaches between West Bay in Westgate-on-Sea and the Western Undercliff in Ramsgate.
The temporary ban was a result of a confirmed storm wastewater discharge on Friday, June 13, 2025, which occurred after heavy rainfall overnight on Friday into Saturday. Storm wastewater is a blend of sewage and surface water.
Following thorough inspections, the waters are now reported clear for everyone to enjoy!
