Health officials have issued a warning advising against swimming at three beaches on Long Island due to elevated levels of bacteria. The affected locations include Hewlett Point Beach in East Rockaway, Island Park Beach in Island Park, and Philip Healey Beach in Massapequa.
The advisory comes after routine testing revealed that bacteria levels in the water exceeded acceptable limits, posing potential health risks to swimmers. Authorities are urging the public to refrain from swimming and other water-related activities at these beaches until further notice.
Officials will continue to monitor the water quality and will conduct additional testing to determine when it is safe for recreational use. In the meantime, beachgoers are encouraged to stay informed about the situation and heed any further advisories from health officials. Ensuring public safety remains a top priority, and these measures are being taken to protect the health of the community.
