California has three of the most polluted beaches in the country, highlighted in the latest Surfrider Foundation's Clean Water Report, pointing out elevated toxicity levels posing health risks.
Imperial Beach in San Diego, CA, stands out with consistently high pollution levels from various contaminants like stormwater runoff, sewage, and chemicals crossing the US/Mexico border.
Runoff, including pollutants from streets, significantly contributes to beach closures in the US, with many water samples from rivers and creeks failing to meet health standards.
