Laguna Beaches Among The Best For Water Quality, Per Report

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — Laguna Beach continued to receive high marks year-round from bacteria testing in the ocean along the coastline, after Heal the Bay released it's annual 2024 report card this week.

In Laguna Beach, Emerald Bay was recognized on the report card's honor roll. Laguna Beach also maintained A or B grades throughout its beaches, except the Aliso Beach area — where the lower grades are due to increased rainfall during the evaluation period.

The Heal the Bay Report Card is an assessment of water quality at over 500 locations in California. This year it sheds light on the impact of extreme rain events on water quality, the city said.

Heal the Bay's grading system is based on weekly ocean water testing.
