Rainfall closes some North Shore beaches

Saturday's heavy rainfall has lead to the closure of 14 North Shore beaches in Nassau County.

The county's Department of Health said stormwater runoff can cause bacterial levels in the ocean to rise to unsafe levels.

The closed beaches include:

Centre Island Sound

Creek Club

Lattingtown Beach

Laurel Hollow Beach

Morgan Sound

North Hempstead Beach Park

Piping Rock Beach Club

Pryibil Beach

Ransom Beach

In addition, Biltmore Beach Club in Massapequa has been closed because of high bacterial levels.
