Without seeing a picture of the weed I could not be sure but it may be Porphyra or Laver as the Welsh call it. Its a very fine thin weed that can cover the sand and rocks. Like brown tissue paper but really slimey.

http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=porphy ... :100,i:151

As for the water being of poor quality as reported by GFKelly, this is a quite normal event known as the Spring Diatom Bloom. Its just occuring late in the year for obvious reasons.
