East End Beach is situated approximately 500 m south-west of Fitzroy Beach in New Plymouth. This beach is popular with summer bathers and Surf lifeguards patrol the beach at times during weekends and public holidays over summer.
The Te Henui Stream enters the sea approximately 200 m to the south-west of the monitored site, which can results in high freshwater inputs during significant rainfall events.
Recreational bathing surveys over the last two summers (2018-2019 and 2019-2020) showed that 100% of beach samples met the marine microbiological water quality guidelines prepared by the Ministry of the Environment in conjunction with the Ministry of Health (MfE, 2003) and did not exceed the 'Action' level (two consecutive samples >280 enterococci/100ml).
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
- Passed water quality tests 60-95% of the time
