LONG ISLAND, NY – Health officials on Long Island are warning residents to stay out of the water at more than 80 beaches across Nassau and Suffolk counties following heavy rainfall that may have impacted water quality.<\/p>\n

The Nassau County Department of Health issued an advisory against bathing at 20 beaches beginning Sunday. Officials say stormwater runoff from recent rain could elevate bacteria levels beyond New York State safety standards.<\/p>\n

The advisory is expected to remain in effect until 10 a.m. Monday, though it could be extended if additional rain falls or water samples continue to show high bacteria levels, per officials.\u00a0<\/p>\n

North Shore beaches under advisory in Nassau County include Centre Island Sound in Bayville, Crescent Beach in Glen Cove, Theodore Roosevelt Beach in Oyster Bay and Tappen Beach in Glenwood Landing.<\/p>\n

South Shore beaches under advisory include Island Park Beach, Philip Healey Beach in Massapequa and Hewlett Point Beach in East Rockaway.<\/p>\n

“Stormwater runoff can impact bathing water quality by elevating bacteria levels, which may cause exceedances of the New York State standard for bathing water quality,” the Nassau County Department of Health said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Suffolk County Department of Health Services issued an even broader advisory affecting 63 beaches across the county.<\/p>\n

Officials said the advisory was prompted by concerns that bacteria levels could exceed state standards in waterways heavily influenced by stormwater runoff and limited tidal flushing.<\/p>\n

Health officials are recommending residents avoid swimming and other water contact activities until at least 24 hours after rainfall has ended, and two successive tidal cycles have flushed the affected waters.<\/p>\n

The advisory spans beaches in multiple Suffolk County towns, including Babylon, Brookhaven, Huntington, Islip, Smithtown and East Hampton.<\/p>\n

Among the beaches included are Tanner Park in Copiague, Corey Beach in Blue Point, Havens Beach in Sag Harbor, Crab Meadow Beach in Northport, Ronkonkoma Beach and Long Beach in Nissequogue.<\/p>\n

Officials also warned that while the advisory specifically targets designated bathing beaches, similar conditions may exist in nearby waterways and recreational areas affected by stormwater runoff.<\/p>\n
