Duporth

Duporth is on the south coast of Cornwall. It is a privately owned sandy beach, backed by cliffs, but is only accessible on foot.

There are no overflows impacting this beach

There are no overflows currently identified by either ourselves or the Environment Agency that have the potential to impact the bathing water. Any bacteria in the bathing water could be from other sources, for example agricultural rainwater runoff, dog or bird faeces, private sewerage or property foul waste pipes being misconnected and draining to watercourses. Bacteria levels may be higher after rainfall.
