Taking a dip has been banned by the local authorities after water samples were taken.

La Pinta beach in Costa Adeje, Tenerife, has been shut since 14 May, as reported by Need To Know.

Adeje Town Hall has placed barriers on the seafront whilst the samples are reviewed.

Daily monitoring of the water detected signs of microbiological levels linked to enterococci bacteria.

Exposure to contaminated water can lead to stomach illnesses as well as skin, eye and respiratory infections.

The beach is now littered with red flags, barriers and tape to deter holiday makers from taking a swim.

The picturesque spot also features an inflatable assault course which is extremely popular in the summer.

The beach will remain closed until the sample tests are cleared.

Tourists were left fuming by the news.

One person said: “Again? This isn’t great.”
