Sad. Disgusting. All beaches should be designated as bathing / swimming beaches. All beaches should be safe for bathing / swimming. Re-designating a beach is not the answer. The government has failed its responsibility to the people.

Very important job. All pollution into the rivers must be takem seriously

Back beach, it looks like nothing has changed in half a century or more. I recall dodging floating brownies and used balloons there back in the 1970's. I don't think its that bad now but obviously more needs to be done.
