Pali Beaches Ace Water Quality Report

Beaches in Pacific Palisades score well in a 30-day report from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

All but one beach in Pacific Palisades scored an "A" for water quality in the past 30 days, according to a report released Wednesday by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. The "30 Day Grade" report showed Will Rogers State Beach at Santa Ynez Storm Drain had insufficient data, but the rest were at the top of the class!

Most beaches scored either a "B" or "C" grade during the previous report from the department.

The L.A. County Department of Public Health website says it gives an A through F grade based on the "trend of bacteriological levels at each sampling site over the past 30 days."
