Two beaches in Nassau County were shut Wednesday because of high bacterial levels — and will not reopen until they drop to "acceptable limits," the county's health department said on Wednesday.
The two beaches closed to swimming due to what has become a recurring problem, especially after storms, are: Hewlett Point Beach in East Rockaway and Biltmore Beach Club in Massapequa.
To speak with a Health Department representative, weekdays, 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., call (516) 227-9717.
