2019 Beaches Water Quality Report Card: Southie #1
We’re #1! We’re #1!
Here’s another reason to love M Street Beach (And it’s not because of the beautiful people that go there!)
According to Save the Harbor/Save the Bay water quality report, South Boston for the fifth year in a row has the cleanest beaches in the Boston area! M Street Beach has received high marks in having water that is safe to swim in and for passing 100% of their bacteria tests last summer.
Topping the list is M Street Beach, City Point Beach, and Pleasure Bay, followed by Nantasket (South Shore), then Carson Beach!
Here’s the report card below:
