Welcome to the Indiana Beaches Monitoring Site. This site contains information about Indiana’s Lake Michigan public beaches. You’ll find information about beach closings, monitoring efforts and E. coli test results. Information on this site is entered and maintained by local organizations that perform beach water quality sampling.
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management works with local organizations to perform beach water quality sampling. If you have questions or would like more information about the Indiana Lake Michigan Beach Monitoring program, please call the IDEM Northwest Regional Office at (219) 757-0265.

To begin your search, enter any part of the location/beach name, waterbody name, or county name in the search box at the top of any page. Click the "GO" button to view the results of the search. If there is no match for the text you have searched for, enter a more broad search string. For example, if you are searching for "Peninsula Beach" you may want to type "Pen" in order to reduce error due to misspelling.
