We tremble a bit here in Malibu when the annual Heal the Bay report card gets handed out. Our beaches are beautiful, sure, but some of them are pretty dirty, too.
I doubt anyone's surprised that Surfrider State Beach made the Top 10 list of LA County's most polluted beaches -- again. But here's the good news: Malibu is home to three of LA County's top 10 cleanest beaches, with Zuma, El Matador and El Pescador each making the cut.
Check out all the info at Heal the Bay's site right here. (You can also get water quality grades via your cell phone.) And if you're a beach lover, consider supporting that fine organization with a donation.
