Describe your local beach

mapAs a part of the 40th anniversary of the Clean Water Act, we are partnering with California Coastkeeper Alliance to bring a beach health phone app to California. You can get real-time beach status information straight to your phone.

We need you, the users of the beaches, to help. By 4 p.m., Friday, March 16, we need a one- to three-sentence description to characterize each of these beaches listed below.

Anything goes.
It could be a description of the surf break, type of animals you see while kayaking, good fishing spot, that perfect bench to watch sunsets–anything you think is important. This is your chance to define your favorite spots (due to space limits, we can’t credit descriptions). Check the Swim Guide (a Canadian application) for an idea of what the app will look like and the type of descriptions needed.
Have fun, and please send your descriptions to [email protected].
You can describe one or many of the following beaches. And you can double check the locat ion along our coastline by finding it on this interactive map.
