Stony Brook Beach, Long Beach and Schubert’s Beach in Smithtown, Hobart Beach (lnlet) in Eatons Neck, and Crab Meadow Beach, Steers Beach, and Asharoken Beach in Northport.
Tanner Park Beach in Copiague and Tides Beach and Broadway Beach in Rocky Point remain closed. All other beaches that closed earlier this week are cleared to reopen.
According to Suffolk County Commissioner of Health Dr. Gregson Pigott, bathing in bacteria-contaminated water can result in gastrointestinal illness, as well as infections of the eyes, ears, nose, and throat.
Beaches will reopen when further testing reveals that the bacteria have subsided to acceptable levels.
