All Monitored Florida Beaches
Use this page to compare every monitored beach in Florida. We rank the strongest current bets first by current status, historical spike rate, and sample freshness.
Best-bet sorting
The strongest current swimming bets float to the top. A good current sample beats a historically clean beach with a worse current status.
Search before you filter
Use the search box for a specific beach, then use county, coast, and status filters when you need to compare a cluster.
Rain still overrides
Even the best-looking page here can become a bad same-day bet after heavy rain, runoff, or brown water.

How To Use This Florida Beach Index
This page is designed for comparison. A beach with a strong long-term history is useful, but the current sample still matters more. That is why this list is ranked by current status first, then by historical risk, then by sample freshness.
If you care more about stable long-term water quality than same-day choice, start with our cleanest beaches ranking. If it has rained recently, read the after-rain guide before you trust any beach status too much.
