The swim beaches below are currently closed. Swim areas can be closed for several reasons including storm damage, high water, unsafe water conditions or E. coli. Should a swim beach be closed because of high E. coli levels, the area will be regularly tested and re-opened when they pass two successive tests at acceptable levels. If your swim area is not listed here - your swim beach should be open. Follow this page and our social media for the latest updates.

PLEASE NOTE: Many locations have multiple swim beaches. In these situations, we will always try to identify exactly which beaches are open and which are closed to avoid confusion.
