-Return to the Environmental Health Main-

The St. Johns County Health Department conducts beach water sampling at several beach locations throughout the county. Beach water is regularly analyzed for levels of fecal coliform and enterococci. Test results are rated “Poor”, “Moderate” or “Good” and are on total bacteria counts that are detected only through laboratory analysis. During instances when testing identifies poor water quality, a warning and/or advisory sign is posted at the specific beach location and a public service announcement is issued.

Results are available for public viewing at the Florida Healthy Beaches Program
