| | Grading of beach water quality announced (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | The beach grading is calculated on the basis of the geometric mean of the E.coli count in the five most recent sampling occasions. |
 | | At present, five gazetted beaches, namely Anglers', Approach, Ting Kau, Castle Peak and Rocky Bay, are closed to swimmers for the whole bathing season because of their poor water quality or due to the lack of beach facilities, and Gemini Beach is temporarily closed due to the construction of beach facilities. |
 | | In general, many beaches are likely to be more polluted than the beach grades suggested during and after periods of heavy rain. |
