The water quality in Hove Lagoon is independently tested regularly during the summer season as part of the Brighton and Hove City Councils seafront beach water quality testing. Lagoon Watersports opened in 1994, since that date the water in Hove Lagoon has passed every test.

• Natural algae growth occurs in the Lagoon. This algae can look unpleasant particularly when it blows to one corner of the Lagoon. It is harmless. It is NOT blue/green algae that fresh water lakes can suffer from.

• Brighton and Hove City Council treat the water with an organic substance to help suppress the algae growth.

• The water in the Lagoon is sea water rather than fresh water which prevents some common water quality issues that lakes suffer from like Blue Green Algae.

• The Lagoon is topped up with fresh seawater every few days.

• The Lagoon is very shallow so the sun can penetrate to the bottom.

• There is a high level of evaporation and leakage in the Lagoon.

• The sea water that goes into the Lagoon meets all bathing test requirements.

• Changing facilities, showers and lockers.
• We have a Cafe/ Bar on site to fulfil all coffee and snacking needs.
• Free WiFi 
• Ramp access and accessible changing area
