San Mateo County has had multiple ‘Beach Bummers’ for five years running.
Lapping waves. Sand castles. Colorful umbrellas. Water with poop in it.The annual Heal the Bay report is out this week, and five San Mateo County beaches made the “Beach Bummer” list for having ocean water heavily contaminated with fecal matter. Three were in Foster City, at Erckenbrack Park, Marlin Park and Gull Park. One was in Half Moon Bay, in Pillar Point Harbor at Capistrano Avenue. And one was on the open ocean: Pacifica’s main strand, Linda Mar Beach.
It’s not just the fecal bacteria, though. Most pollutants, including poop, flow into the ocean together, via storm drains, rivers and other streams, according to the group. And maybe head to San Mateo’s shining star this year: Bean Hollow State Beach just south of Pescadero. Made up of two gorgeous arcs of sand bounded by rocky outcroppings beside Highway 1, Bean Hollow is one of only two West Coast beaches to make Heal the Bay’s Honor Roll this year, for not registering a single “bacterial exceedance.”
About 30 miles down the coast in Santa Cruz, the famed Main Beach fronting the legendary Beach Boardwalk amusement park did not fall into the Beach Bummer category. But that doesn’t mean no poop! Heal the Bay bases the Bummer list on “prime recreation season” testing but also tracks levels in winter.
