Lynford Water beach The sign says the water is not up to designated standards for swimming and no-one has got round to removing the quicksand sign. There would have been the potential for quicksand when gravel was cleaned and the sand and silt laden water poured back into the pit creating sand supersaturated with water. By now it will have all settled.
