Kinghorn (Harbour Beach) was rated Poor for 2025 — below the minimum standard, based on samples taken across recent seasons. That grade comes from bacterial samples taken over several seasons, so it describes the beach's record rather than the water on any given day.
SEPA publishes a daily water quality prediction for 30 of Scotland's 90 bathing waters during the season, and Scottish Water publishes overflow status hourly.
