How this page sorts

Sorted by the lowest current CFU/100mL reading first, then by current status, recent poor-sample rate, and sample freshness. Only direct name-and-location samples can appear in the ranked picks; nearby-station records are listed separately.

When to use it

Use this page when you want to compare the actual current reading values side by side and not just a status label.

What still overrides it

Heavy rain, runoff, brown water, or a stale sample can make any ranked list less trustworthy for a same-day swim call.

Nearby-Station Context In This View

Not ranked as exact beach samples.

These 3 beach pages use samples from nearby Florida DOH stations. They remain visible for context, but they do not compete for top-pick or strongest-choice claims.

How To Use This View

Use this page when you want to compare the actual current reading values side by side and not just a status label.

Top picks and the ranked list use only the 3 direct name-and-location beach samples. The 3 nearby-station context records stay separate and cannot identify the strongest exact beach.

If it has rained recently, use the rain guide before trusting any beach list too much.
