On August 7, 2015, Clallam County Health and Human Services reopened Hollywood Beach for water contact recreation. Recent results show this beach is now safe for swimming.Contact with fecal contaminated waters can result in gastroenteritis, skin rashes, upper respiratory infections, and other illnesses. Children and the elderly may be more vulnerable to waterborne illnesses.
