• Fallen Soldier

    by Morgan Brown

    The authority of a vase of flowers
    Central in their standing
    Tulips, heather, statice
    Embellished with a wide, violet ribbon
    Their container gleams as the sun reflects
    Its crimson heart about the room
    One fallen soldier droops over the rim
    As the rest look on with calculated indifference

    This is the Heal the Bay Beach Report Card for Monterey Peninsula beaches, which reports water quality grades, or when relevant, weather advisories. An A to F grade is assigned based on the health risks of swimming or surfing at that location. Look at the "dry" grade for all days except those "wet" days during and within 3 days after a rainstorm. Click here for more information on the Beach Report Card. Click the name of the beach when it pops up for more details, or choose a beach below.
