The alerts are being heeded by worried local residents, even if visitors continue to take a dip in sewage-ridden waters. Scarborough's South Bay now has a warning in place for poor water quality. Mark Wolles, 36, said the news would "definitely" turn him away from the sea. He said: "I have a one-year-old and I wouldn't let them go in, especially on the south side." Another parent, mum-of-two Hannah said of her kids: "I would let them paddle but that's it. "You are definitely more cautious, knowing the water is polluted." Another woman, at the beach with her granddaughter, said: "No, I wouldn't let her go in the water. "I probably wouldn't even let her paddle - it's not great." Yet visitors continue to rave about the places online. One recent admirer on travel reviews website Tripadvisor describes Scarborough as "a slice of heaven", adding: "South Bay and North Bay beaches are clean and welcoming." The town's beaches were also described as "so clean, lovely and picturesque" while there was praise for its "clean sand and blue water". Filey has been described on the site as "amazingly clean and a lovely place to visit" and Bridlington as offering " beautiful sandy beach, and so clean". Meanwhile, tourists taking to Tripadvisor hailed Whitby for what they called "one of the most beautiful beaches in Yorkshire" and a "beautiful beach with great views". The pollution warni){kind=link}
