Beaches We Monitor

2023 Beach Monitoring Schedule

Oregon Beach Monitoring Program (OBMP) follows a three-week sampling schedule, starting late May - late September. Once sampling is completed for weeks 1 through 3, the schedule will repeat until the sampling season ends. See below for a list of the beaches monitored in 2023. The list includes some of the most frequently visited beaches in Oregon, as well as beaches where OBMP has found bacteria present, or beaches for which local partners and the public have requested monitoring due to potential pollution concerns. 

If you have any questions about beach monitoring or if you would like to receive weekly water quality results during the monitoring season, please contact OBMP at Beach.Health@dhsoha.state.or.us or call 971-673-0440.
