Dr Paul Leinster, chief executive of the Environment Agency, said: "This year a record 99.5% of beaches passed bathing water quality tests, a dramatic improvement in water quality since 1988 when only 65% of beaches passed".
By 2014, all of the northern seaside resort's beaches passed the EU test, after some £1bn was spent on clean water improvements.
More than 99% of English beaches passed last year's tests, but this is forecast to drop by 6%, with the water of 25 beaches possibly classed as "poor".
In the last and longest segment, three people strolling outdoors on the beach pass by.
Concerts are free, but a beach pass is required for entry before 6 p.m. (daily admission is $7).
It has four bedrooms, two and a half baths and an in-ground pool, and includes a Southampton beach pass.
A similar ad for a Greenwich beach pass appeared in Greenwich Time, the local paper, last month.
If the fees stand, a beach pass will cost each nonresident adult $308 for the season, with an additional $100 for parking.
In 1999, a Stamford man was arrested and charged with trying to buy a beach pass on the black market from an undercover police officer.
But this year, the town will not allow this practice, said Lorraine Cofone, the supervisor of the beach pass office at Town Hall.
