The Environmental Protection Department has rated water quality at four beaches 'good' for this weekend. They are Clear Water Bay Second, Golden, Deep Water Bay and Silverstrand Beaches.

The gradings are the same for the second week in a row.

The four beaches are open all year while other beaches are closed for winter.

Seven beaches - Anglers', Approach, Ting Kau, Casam, Gemini, Hoi Mei Wan and Lido - are closed to swimmers year round because of poor water quality.

Many beaches are likely to be more polluted than their grades suggest during and after periods of heavy rain. Bathers should avoid swimming at beaches for up to three days after a storm or heavy rainfall.
