Great Pond at Peconic Dunes Camp Closed
Crab Meadow Beach in Northport is closed to bathing due to
the finding of bacteria at levels that exceed New York State standards.
According
to Suffolk County Commissioner of Health Dr. James Tomarken, bathing in water contaminated
with bacteria can result in gastrointestinal illness, as well as infections of
the eyes, ears, nose, and throat.
Additionally, the beach closure issued for Great Pond Beach at
Peconic Dunes Camp is also in effect.
