Dewey Beach, Delaware -- one of the cleanest in the U.S.
Summer
vacations are in full swing and many people are heading to the beaches on each
coast and at lakes for a relaxing break from the daily grind. Forbes Living would
like to share information about the cleanest beaches to visit this year.
According
to a report from the Environmental Protection Agency, ten percent of samples
taken from US coastal and lake beaches failed to meet federal safety standards
for bacteria and viruses. The polluted water at some beaches stems from storm
run-off and sewage overflows near where people swim and sunbathe. In light of
this, there are some stellar beaches where vacationers can enjoy clean
water. The US agency puts these five
areas at the top of their list:
- Delaware: Dewey Beach-Swedes in Sussex County
- Florida: Bowman's Beach in Lee County
- Georgia: Tybee Island North in Chatham County
- Massachusetts: Singing Beach in Essex County
- New Jersey: Stone Harbor at 96th St. in Cape May County
These are all popular locations for family vacations every
summer. Other places to visit where water quality sample results were favorable
are:
- The Delmarva Peninsula area on the East Coast
- Delaware, New Hampshire and New Jersey
The Forbes Living talk show invites readers to explore these
clean coastal areas. There is so much to do and enjoy there that everyone will
be happy. Take a dip in the water knowing that no bacteria or viruses will
cause illness or a rash this summer. Enjoy!
