Many beaches in the U.S. are closed due to high levels of bacteria, raising health concerns for beach-goers. The Massachusetts Division of Environmental Toxicology reports temporary closures for locations such as Long Beach in Rockport and Damon Pond Beach in Ashby. Despite advisories, some individuals continue to swim in contaminated waters. Beyond Massachusetts, beaches in King County, Washington, and Imperial Beach in California also face closures for unsafe bacteria levels, while visitors to Lake Powell are warned about potential sewage and harmful algae.
Beach visits provide relief from summer heat, but over 20 beaches across the U.S. are closed due to high bacteria levels, as reported by the State of Massachusetts.
In King County, Washington, multiple beaches, including Madison Park and Matthews Beach, are closed due to unsafe bacteria levels, underscoring widespread concerns.
