On Saturday 17 May 2025 at 11.30 am,  join the many voices up and down the country, in a powerful show of unity as part of a national day of action, demanding an end to sewage pollution in our seas and waterways.

Locals are invited to gather on Sandy Beach for a peaceful paddle-out protest, joining surfers, swimmers, paddleboarders, and supporters to take a stand, or a paddle, against the continued discharge of sewage into our marine environment. Organised as part of a growing movement calling for urgent government action and stronger regulations on water companies, this event is a chance to show that Lyme Regis stands for clean, safe seas.

Whether you're on a board, in the water, or showing support from the shore, your presence will send a clear message: enough is enough.

Bring banners, boards and bold spirit, let's raise awareness for a cleaner, healthier coastline for future generations.

Meet on the Sandy Beach at 11.30am. All welcome.
