National Healthy Beaches Campaign (NHBC)
Certification reflects a demonstrated commitment to
promoting the awareness of environmental and safety
issues facing all beaches, while presenting your beach
as a desirable travel destination. NHBC is not
associated with the annual list of America's best
beaches, issued by Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman ("Dr.
Beach") and membership in NHBC does not serve as
criteria for or influence such selections.
We expect that it might take
your staff some time to complete all of the questions in the Full
Evaluation Form.
Return the completed Full
Evaluation Form to us by online submission, or by email attachment.
We conduct an evaluation of
your beach in accordance with the NHBC criteria and certify your
beach. (Please allow 1-2 weeks for the NHBC evaluation to be
completed).
We list your beach as a
certified "Healthy Beach," which includes all of the benefits listed
below.
NHBC
staff will evaluate your beach based upon set criteria focused on beach
healthy and safety. In the rare event that a beach does not meet
the certification criteria, the annual fee will be refunded.
