Are Northeast Florida beaches safe to swim today?
11 monitored beaches across the Atlantic Coast. Use the ranking below to compare current status, historical risk, and sample freshness across the whole region.
Decision-first ranking
Beaches with a stronger current sample come first, then we break ties with historical risk and how fresh the sample is.
Average area risk: 6%
That helps you compare regions, but it is still not a substitute for the latest reading on the beach you pick today.
Storms can change the answer
After heavy rain, runoff, or brown water, the whole region can turn riskier faster than the testing cadence shows.

How To Use This Regional Page
The Northeast Florida includes 11 monitored beaches across 3 counties. The average historical poor-sample rate across the region is 6%, which makes this page useful for comparing areas but not for overriding a weaker current sample.
If you want the biggest statewide comparison set, start with the all Florida beaches index. If you want the beaches with the strongest long-term records, use the cleanest beaches guide before narrowing into a specific county or city.
If you are deciding around a stale sample, a moderate result, or an active warning, cross-check understanding advisories and bacteria testing explained so the regional ranking does not do more work than it should.
