Hunters Harbor is a saltwater beach in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Across 267 bacteria samples collected between 2021 and 2025 at nearby monitoring stations, it earns a Beach Safety Grade of A — Excellent.
About 3% of samples at Hunters Harbor exceeded the EPA Beach Action Value of 104 CFU/100 mL for Enterococcus — the threshold at which water managers typically post a swimming advisory. In practice that means the safe-swimming limit was rarely crossed here over the monitored period. Bacteria samples almost never exceed the safe-swimming threshold.
Hunters Harbor is currently listed as inactive in the EPA beach-monitoring program, so it may no longer be routinely sampled. Its grade reflects the water-quality results collected while it was active — useful history, but confirm the beach's current status and any local advisory before you visit.
