Delaware Surf Among Cleanest Around

Ranks 2nd for cleanest water

Get in the water next time your at the beach in Delaware -- it might leave you with a clean feeling.

A report by the Natural Resources Defense Council ranks Delaware beaches second in the nation for having the cleanest water.

In the report, the council analyzed government data from 2009 on water quality at more than 3,000 beaches nationwide.

Cape Henlopen State Park and Rehoboth Beach earned four stars in the report's five-star rating of 200 of the most popular U.S. beaches.

Only two percent of samples across 25 of Delaware's beaches exceeded the national health standard for contamination.
