Why are some ports dangerous?
Ports like Shoreham are active maritime areas with various hazards beyond typical beaches. There can be strong currents due to ship movements or tidal flows, underwater structures, and deeper water. These factors, combined with potential for cold water shock, can make swimming in or near port areas particularly risky, even on a warm day.
