Alamitos Bay

[1] Alamitos Bay is protected by both the natural sand spit Peninsula and the Long Beach Breakwater.It is divided from the San Gabriel River and Seal Beach by a pair of jetties.After efforts to clear contaminated sediment and improve circulation, Heal the Bay has re-assessed the water's quality.[3] In a 2020 report, the "Summer Dry Grade" at the 2nd Street Bridge was "B," and at Mother's Beach "A."Wet Weather Grades" were both "F." The water quality of the bay could be diminished in the future if the pumps of the nearby Alamitos Energy Center are decommissioned.
