The long view

The state has 20 tests on record for Lighthouse Point Park over 1 year, starting June 2026. In the last 10 years, 8 tests of 20 (40%) came back Poor, well above the rate for all Florida sampled beaches (6.1%). Bacteria levels usually jump after heavy rain, when stormwater washes to the shore, and drop again within a day or two.
