The following beaches are closed to bathing due to the findings of bacterial levels in excess of acceptable criteria: Tanner Park Beach in Copiague, Venetian Shores Beach in Lindenhurst, Sayville Marina Park Beach, the Centerport Yacht Club Beach, and Knollwood Association Beach and in Centerport.

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.
