Delaware lays claim to two of the nation’s five 5 star Beachs
Looking for clean, beautiful beaches to visit this 4th of July holiday? They are close than you think!
NRDC issued star ratings to 200 popular beaches around the country. The star system awards up to five stars to each popular beach for exceptionally low violation rates and strong testing and safety practices. Criteria include testing more than once a week, notifying the public promptly when tests reveal bacteria levels violating health standards, and posting closings and advisories both online and at the beach. Last year, thirteen beaches received a 5-star rating.
Dewey Beach and Rehoboth Beach in Delaware were among them.
