The Bristol Channel coastlines boast long stretches of sandy - and sometimes muddy - beaches that offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy watersports and swimming in the sea.
But according to the Environment Agency, there are two beaches that have failed water quality checks. It advises against bathing in them and in the case of one - it says its recommendation is permanent as the beach is not designated a place to swim, reports Somerset Live.
The area around Burnham Jetty North is no longer a designated bathing water. The Agency says: "Permanent advice against bathing is in place at this water. It is no longer designated as a bathing water under the Bathing Water Regulations 2013 because the water has been classified as poor for five consecutive years."
