Characterized by its sand and shingle terrain, Borth Wen is a designated bathing area in Isle of Anglesey, Wales. Environmental sampling at the site provides an annual water quality classification of Good. First designated in 2003, this location remains a popular destination for recreational visits.
The shoreline consists primarily of sand, shingle. Sediment type dictates underfoot comfort, wave energy absorption, and the water's clarity when currents stir up the seabed.
Water quality is clean and fully compliant with safety directives. It regularly meets bacterial limits under standard environmental conditions.
This bathing water is generally resilient and has a low risk of quality degradation after heavy summer storm events.
Tested weekly by the Environment Agency England for bacteria levels (E. coli & Intestinal Enterococci) between May and September.
Monitored as a coastal beach. Coastal beaches are subject to tidal flows and marine dilution, whereas inland lakes/rivers suffer from low water circulation, meaning bacteria can linger longer.
Unknown is the regional utility responsible for waste water treatment, sewage infrastructure, and storm overflow management in this catchment area.
Officially designated as a protected bathing water site in 2003. This designation mandates regular public health monitoring.
Governed under local district sanitation and environmental safety regulations in the Isle of Anglesey area.
