Santa Monica Pier's beach has been identified as one of California's dirtiest beaches for the second consecutive year by Heal the Bay due to persistent water quality problems. The organization tested over 500 beaches for harmful bacteria, and Santa Monica ranks second. Despite recent rain and fire concerns, public health officials indicate no significant fire-related toxins are present in ocean water. Heal the Bay emphasizes the need for the city to improve beach water quality to protect unsuspecting families visiting the area.
Every day, families who visit Santa Monica for a day of fun in the sun may be unknowingly risking illness by splashing in polluted waters.
For the second year in a row, the area around the Santa Monica Pier was named one of California's 10 dirtiest beaches by environmental nonprofit Heal the Bay.
