Water bacteria has dropped enough at four local beaches so they can be re-opened to swimming.
The Rhode Island Department of Health has given the okay for swimming at these beaches:
- City Park Beach, Warwick
- Conimicut Point Beach, Warwick
- Oakland Beach, Warwick
- Peabodys Beach, Middletown
The following three beaches are still closed:
- Barrington Town Beach, Barrington
- Camp Canonicus, Exeter
- Gorton Pond Beach, Warwick
The DOH's website, http://www.health.ri.gov is the best source for daily changes in beach status, along with the department's recorded phone line, 401-222-2751.
