MIDDLETOWN, R.I. (AP) -- Two area beaches are open again after Rhode Island health officials closed them for swimming.
The Health Department says on Thursday that the Atlantic Beach Club beach in Middletown and Fort Adams State Park beach in Newport are both open after water samples showed bacteria was back down to acceptable limits.
The state regularly tests the water at public beaches during the summer season to make sure that it's safe for swimming.
Water analysis is done by the health department or a laboratory certified by the state.
