Questionable Water Quality

Jul 30th 2022My wife and I visited Knoll Beach on Thursday (the evening) and Friday (just about the whole day) 28th & 29th July 2022.
We dipped but didn’t swim as we were sure we could see what appeared to be a lot of shredded toilet along most of the beach fronting the main access points. One “lump” of something was also spotted but we didn’t investigate closely!
I walked north along the beach for about 20 minutes and evidence of the “toilet paper” reduced to almost nothing at the furthest point along the nudist beach.
Studland Beach is now ruined. Dogs everywhere.
