Here is an item of interest to swimmers.
The Leisure and Cultural Services Department announced today (June 5) that the Environmental Protection Department has classified the water quality at Deep Water Bay Beach and Big Wave Bay Beach in Southern District, Hong Kong Island, as Grade 4, which means the beaches are not suitable for swimming. The red flags have been hoisted. Beach-goers are advised not to swim at the beaches until further notice.
The red flag was hoisted at Big Wave Bay Beach earlier because the sandy area of the beach was uneven.
