Criteria for testing the standards of beaches is getting tougher according to the people behind the Good Beach Guide.
The guide, compiled by the Marine Conservation Society, details the cleanest bathing waters around the UK coast.
It's bad news for the Isle of Man which currently only has two of 19 beaches which meet the required bathing quality standards.
15 beaches meet the minimum standard required and two have failed.
Rachel Wyatt from the Good Beach Guide says it’s essential that research is carried out on how to improve the situation:
