We don’t mean to disparage our beaches, but we have to get serious about cleaning them up. We have gorgeous beaches but our water quality…. eh… it needs to be better. A lot better. Natural Resources Defense Council’s annual report – “Testing the Waters: A Guide to Water Quality at Vacation Beaches” ranks water quality at beaches across the nation. According to the report, Ohio ranks 27th for beach water quality, with Great Lakes beaches violating public health standards about twice as often as coastal beaches. Yuck.
Dirtiest beaches in Ohio? Villa Angela State Park, Edgecliff Beach and Euclid State Park.
