The Huntington Beach Community Association beach in Centerport was closed to bathers Friday by the Suffolk County Health Department after findings of unacceptably high levels of bacteria, officials said.

No information was immediately available as to when the beach might be reopened to bathers.

The latest information regarding closed Suffolk beaches is available by calling the department's beach hotline at 631-852-5822, or through the website: www.SuffolkCountyNY.Gov/Health
