Beach Recreation Resources

USC Sea Grant helped launched the Watch the Water website. This site includes important information about amenities and services and current conditions at local beaches.

Heal the Bay provides a beach water quality report card for L.A. County beaches. Each week, over 500 beaches are graded A to F based on bacteria analysis and the site is updated every Friday. The site also provides tips on being safe at the beach and how to help keep the beach clean.
