57 Suffolk Beaches Closed To Bathing After Heavy Rainfall

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY - Due to heavy rainfall on Tuesday, the Suffolk County Department of Health Services has issued an advisory against bathing at 57 beaches this week.

The advisory was issued because of the potential presence of bacteria at levels that exceed New York State standards.

The beaches covered by the advisory are located in areas that are heavily influenced by stormwater runoff from the surrounding watersheds and adjacent tributaries.

These beaches are located in an enclosed embayment and experience limited tidal flushing.

Health officials recommend that bathing and other water contact be suspended at these areas until the waters have been flushed by two successive tidal cycles or at least a 24-hour period after the rainfall.

The rain is forecasted to end Wednesday morning, therefore the advisory will be lifted Thursday, July 25 at 9 a.m.

Tanner Park Beach in Copiague, West Oaks Recreation Club in Oakdale, Valley Grove Beach in Eatons Neck, East Islip Beach, West Islip Beach, Sayville Marina Park Beach, and Bayport Beach remain closed.
