Private Shoreline Beach-South Of Forestville is a Great Lakes beach in Sanilac County, Michigan. Across 66 bacteria samples collected between 2022 and 2023 at nearby monitoring stations, it earns a Beach Safety Grade of F — Failing.
About 49% of samples at Private Shoreline Beach-South Of Forestville exceeded the EPA Beach Action Value of 235 CFU/100 mL for Escherichia coli — the threshold at which water managers typically post a swimming advisory. In practice that means the safe-swimming limit was frequently crossed here over the monitored period. Bacteria samples exceed the safe-swimming threshold a large share of the time — this beach flags advisories often.
Read this grade as directional rather than settled: it has no results reported since 2023. That is enough to classify how the water has behaved, but not enough to separate this beach from another a grade away — a beach graded from thousands of samples at several stations is a firmer read. As more results are reported, the grade may shift.
Private Shoreline Beach-South Of Forestville 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.
