RI Beaches: What's Open Tuesday

State officials has announced the all of Rhode Island's beaches are open Tuesday without restrictions. All dangerous rip currents have subsided, the Emergency Management Agency said this morning.

One beach - Misquamicut - was closed Monday, while several others were cautiously opened. East Matunuck, Scarborough, East Beach, and Charlestown Breachway were limited to knee-deep swimming.

There will be no such limitations Tuesday.

"With today's oppressive humidity, it will be a good day for the beach, but it's the last one for a while," the EMA said. "Rain is headed our way for tomorrow and Thursday."

If you do take advantage of Tuesday's conditions, be advised that the Department of Health and the Department of Environmental Management are advising people that a dangerous species of jellyfish - the clinging jellyfish - have recently been spotted in Point Judith Pond in Narragansett. While small jellyfish can be found in back bays an coastal ponds, they usually aren't going to be an issue at ocean beaches or other sandy areas, officials said.
