Save The Harbor/Save The Bay released its Metropolitan Beaches Water Quality Report Card on Monday. It says the overall water quality safety rating for Boston Harbor beaches is 85%, down from last year's 93% grade following "the rainiest summer in the Boston area since 1955."

The cleanest public beaches around Boston Harbor are Pleasure Bay and City Point in South Boston. That’s according to an annual report card from Save the Harbor/Save the Bay. Revere Beach and Nantasket beach in Hull also got high marks.

Two South Boston beaches were deemed the safest, while historic rainfall negatively impacted other swimming spots last year. The post The Boston-area beaches with the best (and worst) water quality, according to a new report appeared first on Boston.

The overall water quality rating for Boston Harbor-region beaches was 86 percent in 2023, according to Save the Harbor/Save the Bay’s annual Metropolitan Beaches Water Quality Report Card.
