Sound Beach Property Owners Association East and West, Tides Beach in Rocky Point, and Valley Grove Beach in Huntington are closed to bathing due to the finding of bacteria at levels in excess of acceptable criteria. The following beaches, which closed earlier this week, due to excess bacteria, remain closed:
According to Suffolk County Commissioner of Health Dr. James Tomarken, bathing in bacteria-contaminated water can result in gastrointestinal illness, as well as infections of the eyes, ears, nose, and throat.
Beaches will reopen when further testing reveals that the bacteria have subsided to acceptable levels.
