Water Quality Near Miami

All beach water quality ratings shown are based on enterococcus bacteria testing by the Florida Department of Health Healthy Beaches Program. Beaches are tested at least twice per month. A reading of 35.4 CFU/100mL or below is rated "Good" — safe for swimming. Readings above 70.5 CFU/100mL trigger a health advisory.

Distance shown is straight-line distance from Miami. Actual driving distance may be longer. Always check current beach conditions before heading out, especially after rainfall.
