Crab Meadow Beach Closed to Bathing

Crab Meadow Beach Huntington, NY

Update: The beach has been reopened for swimming.

Crab Meadow Beach in Northport is closed today (August 31, 2015) to bathing due to the finding of bacteria at levels that exceed New York State standards. 

According to Suffolk County Commissioner of Health Dr. James Tomarken, bathing in water contaminated with bacteria can result in gastrointestinal illness, as well as infections of the eyes, ears, nose, and throat. 

Additionally, the beach closure issued for Great Pond Beach at Peconic Dunes Camp is also in effect.
