Bay Water Quality

Having a clean and safe bay for your enjoyment is a top priority of the City of Avalon. We've taken many steps regarding the issue of clean water in our bay. It is up to all of us to ensure that our bay water quality is beautiful, safe, and enjoyable for all activities.

Since 2013 Avalon has been off of the Heal the Bay Beach Bummer list.
