Heavy rainfall has prompted the closure of several Nassau County beaches. Visit the Health Department's website for the full list of closed locations.

Dr. James Tomarken, Commissioner of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, issued an advisory against bathing at 67 beaches due to the heavy rainfall on Friday. Among the beaches are those located along the northern shoreline of Great South Bay, in Sag Harbor, within and adjacent to various North Shore embayments (Cold Spring Harbor, Huntington Harbor and Bay, Centerport Harbor, Northport Harbor and Bay, Port Jefferson Harbor Complex, and Stony Brook Harbor), and those Long Island Sound beaches that are directly impacted by nearby storm water discharges.

Due to heavy rainfall, the Nassau County Department of Health has closed the following 19 beaches to bathing as a precautionary measure, effective Saturday. Storm water runoff can have a negative impact by elevating bacterial levels and affecting bathing water quality.

Fourteen North Shore Beaches:

Centre Island Sound
Creek Club
Lattingtown Beach
Laurel Hollow Beach
Morgan Sound
North Hempstead Beach Park
Piping Rock Beach Club
Prybil Beach
Ransom Beach
Roosevelt Beach
Sea Cliff Village Beach
