Water quality at Repulse Bay is generally good throughout out the year. There is no major freshwater source discharging into the beach, houses and hotels at the hinterland are also sewered. However, there is still a chance of water quality deterioration after heavy downpours; salinity is a good indicator of beach water quality.
