HEALTH Recommends Beach Openings

Earlier today, HEALTH officials recommended re-opening ATLANTIC BEACH CLUB BEACH for swimming. This recommendation is based on results from water samples that show bacteria levels within acceptable limits. HEALTH will continue to monitor the water quality regularly to assure safe bathing throughout the summer season.

The following beaches still remain closed:
CONIMICUT POINT BEACH
CAMP FULLER-YMCA BEACH
GORTON POND BEACH

PLEASE NOTE: BEACH STATUS MAY CHANGE ON A DAILY BASIS.  For up to date information about swimming at Rhode Island beaches, go to the HEALTH website at www.health.ri.gov or for recorded information about RI Bathing beaches call (401) 222-2751.
