It is not entirely unexpected. The Rhode Island Health Department is closing eight beaches across the state for high levels of bacteria found in the water. Those beaches include:
Scarborough North, Narragansett
Goddard Park Beach, East Greenwich
Camp Watchaug, Charlestown
Sandy Point Beach, Portsmouth
Kingston’s Camp, South Kingstown
Camp Hoffman, South Kingstown
Oakland Beach, Warwick
Warren Town Beach, Warren
In addition, City Park and Conimicut beaches, they are both in Warwick, are being reopened as sample levels have returned to normal.
