  • Dumpton Gap
  • Louisa Bay
  • Viking Bay
  • Stone Bay

The affected areas are being cleared and warning signs put in place to advise beach users to take extra care on the beach in these locations, until the warning signs have been removed.

The council continues to monitor the beaches and is working with the relevant partners, including the Environment Agency.

Dog walkers are advised to keep their pets on a lead at these locations.
