As of Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at 3:39 PM, the following bathing beach updates have been issued:
Keyes (Sea Street) Beach is closed to swimming due to high bacterial counts. It has exceeded the single-count standard and triggered a geometric mean exceedance for Enterococci Bacteria. This beach must be posted closed to swimming within 24 hours. Another sample was collected today. It will require several more samples, possibly over the course of several days, to decrease the geometric mean.
