Note: "X" The beach has been closed for swimming purposes.
Ungazetted beaches.
The following beaches have changed grading on this occasion:
Lo Song Shing from "2" to "1"; Turtle Cove and Pui O from "3" to "2"; Cheung Sha Lower from "4" to "3"; Trio (Hebe Haven) from "1" to "2"; Chung Hom Kok and To Tei Wan from "2" to "3"; Hairpin, Golden Beach and Butterfly from "3" to "4".
The changes are within the normal range of fluctuation of the bacteriological water quality of these beaches. The general deterioration of beach water quality is probably due to the recent heavy rainfall which would have caused the pollutants in the beach hinterland to be flushed into the sea water.
