People have been urged to avoid entering the sea after a major sewer spill in Devon.
South West Water (SWW) said the burst sewer happened on private land in Exmouth next to Maer Lane wastewater treatment works.
It said Maer Lane had been temporarily shut as a result.
East Devon District Council (EDDC) leader councillor Paul Arnott said due to the “severity of the spill” the council has had to “red flag bathing” in the area.
