The Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County has issued a water quality advisory for Crandon Park North just ahead of the Memorial Day weekend.
Water samples collected on Thursday, May 21, 2026, showed levels of Enterococcus bacteria – fecal matter – that exceed state safety guidelines. As a result, health officials are advising against swimming and all other water-related activities at this location due to an increased risk of illness.
The advisory will remain in effect until subsequent testing shows that bacteria levels have dropped back down to acceptable health standards.
Local beach test results are kept live at FloridaHealth.gov/HealthyBeaches. Residents can also contact the health department directly for more information at 305-324-2400 or by visiting MiamiDade.FloridaHealth.gov.
