Water samples
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) tests the water at these beaches every week or two for Karenia brevis, the algae behind Florida's red tide. Results are published some days after sampling, so the latest may be a week or two old: the beach reports above are the same-day check.

- High >1,000,000
If red tide is at the beach
- Check before you go. Conditions change by the day and from one beach to the next: if one beach is affected, another a few miles away may be clear.
- Mind your breathing. Red tide can cause coughing, sneezing and watery eyes near the water. People with asthma or other lung conditions should avoid affected beaches.
- Don't swim near dead fish, and keep pets out of the water, away from sea foam and dead fish.
- Store and restaurant seafood is safe. Commercial shellfish beds are monitored and closed during red tide; don't harvest your own from affected areas.
