Tanner Park Beach Closed to Bathing

Tanner Park Beach in Copiague is closed to bathing due to the finding of bacteria at levels in excess of acceptable criteria. The beach will reopen when further testing reveals that the bacteria have subsided to acceptable levels.   

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.   

For the latest information on affected beaches, call the Bathing Beach HOTLINE at 631-852-5822 or contact the Department's Office of Ecology at 631-852-5760 during normal business hours.
