• The Top 10 Most Toxic Beaches in America Are Deceptively Pretty and Popular (fodors.com) — Linda Mar Beach in Pacifica is drawing concern after 12 years of water tests showing bacteria levels far above state health standards, especially near San Pedro Creek. Researchers now link the pollution to leaking sewage pipes, and while the city has begun pipe replacements and offers homeowner incentives, contamination persists. Locals are urged to avoid creek outflows, stay north of the Taco Bell, skip ocean dips after storms, and rinse off after surfing or swimming.
