2 Closed Rhode Island Beaches Reopened To Swimming

Rhode Island's two remaining closed beaches were reopened Tuesday. Camp Grosvenor Beach in Saunderstown and the Kent County YMCA Lower Pond have been declared safe for swimming by the Rhode Island Department of Health.

The reopening of these two beaches means that no beaches are closed in Rhode Island at this time.

Last week, as many as 10 beaches were closed at one time after two days of heavy rain raised bacteria levels at beaches across the state to unsafe levels.

For updated information, call the department's prerecorded beach line at 401-222-2751 or visit the beach closures website.
