One of the UK's most picturesque beaches was turned into a public health hazard after a massive discharge of sewage was pumped into the pristine waters.
The brown tide was caught on camera at Trevaunance Cove in St Agnes, Cornwall, on Sunday morning (October 30) to the horror of locals and surfers.
A shocking video shows a large section of the usually turquoise waters at the beauty spot turned a murky brown, in the latest of a series of such incidents this year across the UK. South West Water blamed climate change for the spill.
