Four of Northumberland's most popular beaches have been blighted by sewage discharges following heavy rainfall on Monday.
Campaign group Surfers Against Sewage announced that sewage had been discharged from storm overflows at Warkworth, Amble Links, Druridge Bay North and Druridge Bay South.
The warnings for Druridge Bay and Warkworth note that there are no overflows that discharge directly onto the beach, but there are "a number" in the surrounding area that "may affect bathing water quality".
