RED TIDE

Some Florida beaches -- but not all -- are currently experiencing the effects of red tide. Here's a list for more information and resources:

Red tide is a naturally occurring phenomenon of a higher-than-normal concentration of a microscopic alga. We encourage visitors to check  http://www.myfwc.com/RedTideStatus and https://visitbeaches.org for the most up-to-date information on water and beach conditions. If you're visiting an affected area and looking for inland activities and attractions, additional resources can be found here.
