Sandyhills was rated Good for 2025 — the second of the four grades in the Bathing Water Regulations. 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.
