Filter by the latest company report. The map follows the filters. This is a location search, not a list of outlets proven to affect Dawlish Town, and it does not include every possible source of pollution.
Filters apply to the map and list. Recent stops need a current report and a recorded stop time. They do not show whether water is safe.

Before you visit
- Open the official bathing-water profile for current advice.
- Read local signs and check local conditions.
- Use the Swim Healthy guidance to reduce open-water risks.
Designation and a map point do not establish parking, lifeguard cover, access or a safe route. A stopped overflow report does not mean that the bathing water is safe.

Questions about Dawlish Town
- Is Dawlish Town safe to swim in today?
- This page cannot answer that. The annual classification describes a longer-term record, and an outlet report describes monitor activity at one outlet. Check the official bathing-water profile, local signs and current conditions before entering the water.
- What does the Dawlish Town classification mean?
- The annual classification meets the Good class. The Environment Agency sets the class from water samples taken over several bathing seasons, not from a single visit.
- Has the water quality at Dawlish Town changed?
- The rating was Good in 2025, the same as in 2024. We hold standard classifications for 5 years, from 2021 to 2025. The table above lists every year in the record.
- Are there sewage outlets near Dawlish Town?
- 18 outlet records fall within 3 km of the monitoring point. The nearest is Piermont Pl/Jubilee Bridge CSO Dawlish, about 0.2 km away. Distance alone does not show whether an outlet affects this water.
- Which outlets near Dawlish Town are linked to a live feed?
- 17 of the 18 nearby records are matched to a monitor in a company live feed. A link does not mean the monitor is working now. Use the status filters above to check the latest report and its date. A stopped report does not mean the bathing water is safe.
