Which beaches have had recent bacteria spikes near Gainesville?
This view is built for people who want to know which beaches near Gainesville have shown recent trouble signs, even if a newer sample has improved.
How this page sorts
Sorted by the most recent poor or non-good sample first, then by higher recent poor-sample rate, weaker current status, and higher current reading. 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 care about recent warning signs and want to know which beaches have been unstable lately.
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.

How To Use This View
Use this page when you care about recent warning signs and want to know which beaches have been unstable lately.
Top picks and the ranked list use only the 7 direct name-and-location beach samples. The 12 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.
