Suffolk Reporter

The Suffolk County Department of Health Services has issued an advisory against bathing at 63 beaches following recent heavy rainfall. The advisory is based on potential bacteria levels that may exceed New York State standards.

The affected beaches are located in areas heavily influenced by stormwater runoff from surrounding watersheds or adjacent tributaries. Due to their location in enclosed embayments, these beaches experience limited tidal flushing.

Health officials recommend suspending bathing and other water contact activities until the waters have been flushed by two successive tidal cycles, which typically requires a 24-hour period after the rain has ended. This advisory will be lifted on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, at 8 a.m., unless sampling reveals elevated bacteria levels persisting beyond the 24-hour period.
